[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8621296, member: 7006"] 4E was enjoyable for the years I played it. Just like 5E has been enjoyable for the years I've been playing this. Just like 3E was great fun the years I was playing that. Because the one thing all of them have in common is the focus on the "monster combat" board game. So long as that is the focus of Dungeons & Dragons (and if one of the three books is always going to be a Monster Manual it always will be)... then to me I don't need to select one of them to be "My D&D". That seems to be missing the point. I've always felt that needing to select one of the D&Ds as the most important to me would be like selecting which version of Ticket To Ride was "my" Ticket To Ride. That just seems an unnecessary demarcation. They are all relatively the same game with just various rules adjustments, so I've never seen a reason to pick one of them as being over the rest. I'll rank TtR against Catan and Carcassonne, sure... just like I'll rank D&D against WoD and Shadowrun... but ranking internal versions is hair-splitting to me. [/QUOTE]
