D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

[TiQuinn]

I am interested what you think in 2E mechanically is too story forward for dungeon crawling.

Yeah, I don’t get that either. The adventures around that time started to be more story forward but the system itself wasn’t.

5e. It's my favorite D&D variety - why would I switch just for dungeon crawling?

Would probably go with B/X in the form of Old-School Essentials.

It really is focused on providing a Dungeon experience, for that matter.

Disagree on 5e.

Agree on whatever is your favorite should work.

Pathfinder classic.

Is it? How so?

4e seems to be built for crawling with the short rests, encounter powers, and surges. I would recommend that for others, but myself seems to only play the newest edition of the game, so 5e.

Exactly!

 

[Reynard]

Exactly!

I'm not sure I see how 5E is especially dungeon focused. It is certainly heroic fantasy focused, and you can do that in a dungeon, but what rules in 5E make it hardcoded for dungeon play?
