[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6565991, member: 15700"] My progression: Moldvay's Basic. But only a very short time before we went headlong into... ...AD&D. Played it. Loved it. Adored the Dragon magazines. Made a buttload of maps and adventures. Then one day... ...2e came along. Hmm...this is interesting. THAC0 is now an official thing. Oohhh, I like the change to thief skill progression and the bard class. Quickly decided that 1e/2e classes would intermingle. which also quickly led to... ...going back to 1e, but used THAC0, thief skill progression, and priest spheres. then... ....3e came along. Saw it. Played a bit. Stayed with 1e. And then... ....4e came along. Looked at it. Said, "heck no, that's not what I want out of my D&D experience." Stayed with 1e. And then... ....5e came along. First with the playtest. Downloaded it. Got my buddies to play it. We all started to really enjoy it. It was, "Here is what 2e would look like if it were modernized, but we can play in the exact same style that we've been playing all this time." Then... ...when 5e officially came out, we were all in. Better than 2e. More customizable and easier than 1e. But the [i]style[/i] of play was the same as 1e. TotM. Rulings over rules. The social aspect of the game is more important than the rules of the game, and 5e supports that very well. Super easy to use all my 1e adventures in 5e. 5e gives me the rules to play the style I want, but doesn't get in the way of us having fun. [/QUOTE]
