[QUOTE="Erekose, post: 1746646, member: 610"] I grew up with with the changing face of D&D: 13/14 - OD&D 15/16 - 1st Edition 20 - 2nd Edition - at which point I stopped roleplaying! 34 - 3rd Edition - restarted roleplaying! I agree with everyone else who has said that my love of OD&D is probably due to my age at the time and the fact that it was my first RPG. 1st Edition was more sophisticated but I was growing more sophisticated! 2nd Edition felt like a childs game whereas the 1st Edition felt like it was a game for adults! [I don't mean to "age-ist" in the above comment, I'm more pointing out that as a child reading a game that felt like it was for adults but was about dungeons and dragons I was really impressed - with the game and myself! As an adult reading a game that felt like it was for children really put me off.] 3rd Edition - while I like much of it, it does feel very complicated as written. Someone on another thread mentioned that it feels like a computer game and I tend to agree. However, much of the overly complex stuff can be easily house ruled away! With all the above said, the emotional side of me will always see 1st Edition as "the game". (Apologies to diaglo ;) ) [/QUOTE]
