If you were to play a version of pre-3.0 D&D, which would it be?

[Agamon]

I went for RC, that'd be fun. 2E is the best choice if torturing me is the goal.

 

[GrendelKhan]

Rules Cyclopedia

I would play 2nd edition, specifically with the Player's Options books. I loved the freedom and flexibility of the customizable classes. I see a lot of that in True20, actually.

AD&D, though I'd consider OD&D if the right group were around (and if it was an option in the poll).

 

[Shemeska]

Honestly I'd play any of them, at least once just to try them, but I don't know enough about the rules differences to really base my decision on that at all. So I'm stuck with flavor, and I can't really say I care for the play style and feel of some of the older stuff I've read, so I have to go with the heyday of fluff and campaign settings...

2e: the planes had depth and the fiends had flavor.

I'd play 1e, simply because of OSRIC and it's awesomeness (I got a nostalgia kick simply by reading that awesome document ).

AD&D 2e would be clsoe, since I started with it, but meh, not too important

Personally, I think 3e is where it's at, but to them their own, right?

1st Edition, followed closely by the Rules Cyclopedia.

 

[MonsterMash]

I'd play OD&D(1974) by preference so voted none of those editions, but otherwise B/X if OD&D is not available.

 

[Odhanan]

But is the RC pre- or post-2e? I don't rightly remember.

Well, technically it's post-2E (in terms of actual publication of the book), but it's mostly a compilation of pre-2E materials. In essence, for me, it's pre-2E gaming.

1st Edition

I selected AD&D 1e because that is what my group and I play. I also have a 2e game for off nights though.
