Is D&D Your Favorite RPG?



Don't forget to chime in on the entire RPG Survey Round-Up!

 

[JoeGKushner]

Yes.

It's not the greatest RPG.

It's not the best RPG.

But it has many things that make it my favorite.

 

[Zhaleskra]

It was for a long time, and during that time I was also exposed to and even came to like other RPGs, including skill-based and rules light systems. At first, I railed against a friend's comment that I was "stuck on a system" due to what I liked to play and GM, but I eventually saw his criticism as truth, as I tended to stick with games with D&D-like flavor. Dungeons & Dragons has fallen from its position as my favorite, in part from personal experience (although I must say I like 3.X more than any other iteration I've been exposed to), partly the "d20 only" attitude of some gamers, and my own personal distaste with certain role-playing precedents.

 

[Psion]

The current incarnation, with attendant d20 support that it enjoys, yes.

In the 2e days, the love was fading... HERO almost stole me away.

 

[Teflon Billy]

I voted yes, but it's in about a 5-way tie for "favorite"

 

[The_Gneech]

No, HERO holds that spot. But D&D has available resources that HERO does not, alas. Like Dungeon magazine.

All in all, D&D, and d20 in general, is my favorite. Not because its the best, not because its the easiest, but because I simply love it. D&D/d20 has been good to me as a player and a DM.

 

[Fishbone]

HERO is my fave. I don't sleep with FRED under my pillow, it is my pillow.
But Dungeons and Dragons is a real close second.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

I voted no, based on the current version. But I would have voted yes if I were to include D&D over it's entire span of years and editions. The years of enjoyment I got out of OD&D and AD&D have to count for something.

 

[Kid Socrates]

I'll say yes -- it narrowly beats out Mage: The Ascension.
