To my mind, they all have their charms. OD&D - I never really encountered it until the deluxe reprint boxed set came out some years ago). Even it is fun to play in an ultra-retro, rough and free-wheeling fashion.B/X - Another edition I picked up later in life. Impressive in how much it packs into those slim booklets while remaining easily understood.BECMI - Where I got started. It's entirely tied up in nostalgia; to my mind, it's the best version of D&D released when rated for presentation and ease-of-use. You pick up that red box and immediately get drawn into a thrilling world of adventure and danger.AD&D 1e - Occultic, dense, shambolic, completely Gygaxian. Just looking at those Elmore covers is exciting, takes me back.AD&D 2e - When settings were king. I go back and forth on the value of kits, but the settings were gold. The work done then resonates to this day. Granted, the abundance of different settings didn't help sales. But arguably the Forgotten Realms of current D&D was shaped more by the 2e setting than anything else.</blockquote>
