[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8439694, member: 2209"] 1e: 1981? up until 2e came out. Then again four years with a new group 91-95. My first game was 1e before I had read anything, just knowing it was a fantasy game. Later my first DMing was 1e. B/X: 1981 and then for a few years. Played a bunch. It was how I first learned the game from reading the rules and a lot of early play for me. B/X modules got used in my 1e games. 2e whenever it came out up until 2001 or 2002. I preordered the PHs and we used them. Continued with my long term campaign and mixed in 1e stuff all the time like assassins and grugach elves and stuff from the 1e DMG and MMs. 3e 2000 I preordered the PH and read it, dowloaded the SRD and read it. It was a little while before actually playing it as 2e and vampire games continued. Banewarrens was out when I started. Continued up until the 3.5 srds came out, at which point I had been playing a lot of 3e and had a ton of material. 3.5 switched over to the 3.5 rule set immediately after the srds came out. Did not get the physical core books for years but a ton of other books. Played for years until Pathfinder came out with some games after that as well. Pathfinder 1e played from when it came out via srds until years into the 5e era. Started with the srds and got a lot of PDFs. 4e no SRDs and my groups being happy using 3.5 and Pathfinder meant I waited until I played in a group playing it, which was a few years into the run around when the PH I&II double case sale came out which was my first 4e purchase. I enjoyed it but my group didn't so after a while we switched to pathfinder 1e as our staple D&D type game for years. I continued to play 4e with my son though. 5e I played a playtest game of the Caves of Chaos then it was a bunch of years into 5e before my group switched from Pathfinder 1e to 5e. It has now been a couple of years of 5e. [/QUOTE]
