[QUOTE="MockingBird, post: 8440917, member: 6985008"] I got into D&D late. I was born in 82 and once I was old enough, in the south, satanic panic was real, I got my first 2e PHB in 96 I think. I remember at the time TSR was in trouble and getting books was not easy. I finally found a DMG about a year later. In between that time I scored the FR grey box and a few other splat books. 2e 95ish to 98ish 3e just a few games here and there 2002ish 4e I tried to get my friends in on this edition but it was impossible for a bunch of casual players 2008ish PF 1e few games here and there 2010ish 5e has been a winner, it's a lot easier to introduce to casual players 2014-current I couldn't get into 3e at all. It was familiar but it was off and I couldn't put my finger on it. I'd later figure it out when I joined some PF games. I didnt like the level of knowledge you needed to build an adequate character. 4e I bought the main books. I really wanted to get a steady game going. My players just didnt get it. They just wanted to play and not have to think about which powers to use and when. 5e has been the best for my group. I debated going back to earlier editions until inwas able to look at the next playtest stuff. [/QUOTE]
