It's all fresh and exciting to me.Well, D&D editions, like different games, I don't think are any better than the others. One may like one over the other but this is due to varying tastes more than anything else. I don't think very many people out there every playeds "Gary's game". Everybody had their three ring binder of house rules. With one group I was with it was huge and larger than the core books. During slow points in the game I would ask them to hand it to me so I could browse (the skill system he had was wonderful and I stole it for my own campaign while others stole it from me after that). 2nd edition was nothing more than modifying 1st ed. to add some of those house rules that many people had created. Third edition reworked the core mechanics and made the game much better in some respects, but dropped the ball in others (IMHO). I don't think any are "better". Some of the best would probably still be those 1E with those three ring binders of house rules. However, unless you're playing with the same people you did them, it is probably easier to move up in edition and deal with the rules that might not be better than yours but are known and accepted by the majority of players out there and will cause less arguements by adopting.</blockquote>
