[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8218172, member: 6855114"] My age will show... OD&D/BECEMI: This is where I have started in 1980. We played this for a few years and boy was it fun. We used all boxes and got play immortals/gods. It gave us quite the insights as to why gods act like they do. We ended our immortal run in 1994. It became a secondary campaign in 1983(84?) When we started to play AD&D. 1ed: This has been one of the best edition. Nothing to hate, but a lot to argue ;). Fun worlds, fun adventures and so much to try. 2ed: I went into that wagon with a bit of disappointment. I was not rolling with money and sooooo much stuff to buy. The settings and complements were great. The Draconomicon comes to mind. Ravenloft, Spell Jammers and Planescape. 3.xed: For me these two are one and the same. I really liked that this was the first true logical edition. A "+" is a good thing. A "-" is a bad thing. No more awkward stats such has %strength. 4ed Attack cantrips, minions, bloodied condition and did I mentioned the minions? A true heroic edition. 5ed. So far it is the best edition that took everything that was great from the other editions. The simplicity of OD&D/BECMI, The base classes of 1ed and the lore it had started, the logic approach of 3.xed and the at will cantrips of 4ed so that very high level magic would be limited in favor of better/competitive martial classes.
