[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8998483, member: 50987"] I guess I got accustomed to "Edition Turnover" early on. I started playing D&D with the Red Box Basic Set, and that whole BECMI model became the norm for me and my friends. We started playing the Basic Rules in middle school, then we switched to the Expert Rules. By the time we were in high school, we had switched to the Companion Rules Set, and then Masters by the time we graduated. Then I started all over again in college, introducing my new roommates to the Rules Cyclopedia. So later, going from 3E to 3.5E to Pathfinder to 5E all seemed normal. I guess I never developed much edition loyalty. BECM is my favorite and I still play it from time to time but it's terribly outdated both in mechanics and tone. It's not the game I'm currently playing, nor is it the one I've played the most, and--oh, my aching heart--it's no longer what comes to mind when people talk about "playing D&D." [/QUOTE]
