[QUOTE="JEB, post: 8217188, member: 10148"] 2E: Monsters! In fact, it was the monster books that got me interested in playing D&D in the first place. The settings were also great, especially Ravenloft and Planescape. I think in terms of fluff, this was the best edition by far. The rules in Player's Option: Skills and Powers were also fun (though for whatever reason, never actually used them). 3E: Loved the switch to d20 + bonus as the base mechanic, and how much sense the rules made compared to 2E. I've also come to appreciate how many options this edition gives players for character design. EDIT: Also, the OGL was pretty awesome. 4E: Never played this edition. 5E: Basically combined much of what I liked best about 2E and 3E - books that are fun to read with straightforward mechanics. It's also the most accessible of the three editions I've played. The return of the old lore, after the changes in the 4E era, was most welcome. I've even come to appreciate the slow release schedule, gives plenty of time to digest each new book. [/QUOTE]
