Has this forum given you the urge to play previous editions?

[Raith5]

Well it has certainly made me a little nostalgic for previous editions, but many of the game elements are not ones I want to revisit.

That said it has made me think about 4th ed (current game of choice) in a more reflective way. I think the desingers of 4th were pretty brave in developing what they did - and I am thankful that they tried to do new things - I dont think they have gotten the recognition that they deserve. But there are also aspects of 4th ed that went little too far given the cannon of D and D that I am revisiting.

No, I actually started considering it during the 3E to 4E switch. We tried numerous games to see which one(s) would scratch our itch, including BECMI, C&C, 2E and SW. [and 4E too]

The 5e announcement certainly has not driven me insane in that way. But I did play a bit of 2e at Origins. It was fun in a Calvinball sort of way (and that was enough to remind me of why I dropped out of AD&D at the beginning of 2e).

 

[SimBloodaxe]

No, the last two editions of D&D are what inspired me to do that.

The talk of the new game has inspired me to finally stop lurking, so hi everybody!

 

[Deadboy]

Actually, yes. I could totally go for a 1e game right now. Since 5e was announced and we've all been discussing mechanics I've dug out my 3.5 and 2e rulebooks (I already had a 1e book out as my originals were long ago thrown out after getting moldy and I just re-acquired a 1e PHB, Unearthed Arcana, Monster Manual, DMG and Fiend Folio at a tag sale for $10 a few months ago).

So much cool stuff in those old books.

I almost ordered some 2nd edition books, since their still cool as heck. I've looked at my 1rst for years for interesting trivia.

No not really.

Though I wish we would hurry up and finish Age of Worms because we are going to do Pathfinder next and I want to play a witch.

I still get together with some of my grade school/junior high/high school friends once or twice a year to play 1st Edition AD&D.

No not really.

Though I wish we would hurry up and finish Age of Worms because we are going to do Pathfinder next and I want to play a witch.

Will she be an elf?

 

[Hassassin]

Kind of. More than wanting to play previous editions (except 3e which I always have an urge to play ) the forum has given me the urge to try out about a million possible house rules that have been suggested here.

Takes all of my willpower not to turn my players into total guinea pigs.

 

[DMKastmaria]

Already running 1e. The announcement did inspire me to visit EN World, though.
