I started very briefly with the same Basic booklet in '86, then moved to 1e in '87-88 (right before 2e came out). We played with 1e rules (sometimes supplemented by 2e material) until 3e came out in 2000. I also read and assimilated a ton of 2e material throughout the '90s, which is why I love 2e so much even though I rarely played that edition exclusively. Once 3e was out I played and collected that for a while, but eventually we went back to 1e for actual play and mostly stayed there until 2009, when we gave 4e a try. I played and ran 4e for about a year before we gave up on it as our regular system (although we ran arena fights with it for about six months after that) and again went back to 1e until 5e came out in 2014.We played 5e and sometimes 1e too until my best friend passed away in 2018, which led to the break up of my group. I eventually put together a new group after that and we stuck with 5e (with myself increasingly disillusioned with the game and the hobby) until I found Level Up a couple years ago. I discovered the OSR around 2017, but my current group has no interest in old school play, much to my chagrin.That's my history in D&D. I played a lot of other games through that time too, of course.</blockquote>
