Easy to learn and play and tons of fun.AD&D 1st Edition - It wasn't very long before I moved on 1st edition. I loved pouring over those books, especially the Monster Manual, Deities & Demigods. I also bought the World of Greyhawk setting, which is still my favorite D&D setting. I think it was here that I also got introduced to Dragon Magazine (R.I.P) but that may have been during 2nd edition and that magazine was probably always my favorite thing about the game.AD&D 2nd Edition - Cleaned up the rules, and TONS of options and Forgotten Realms stuff to own and pour over. I ran Night Below twice. More Dragon magazine. Probably my all time favorite version.D&D 3.0/3.5/Pathfinder 1e - Uniform leveling between the classes, being able to customize your characters with skills and feats like never before, Prestige Classes,  and the Open Gaming License, some great third party content (Malhavoc Press, Sword & Sorcery...). Generally each iteration improved on the prior.D&D 4th edition - didn't playCastles & Crusades - This one might be a cheat but it is a very rules lite version of the game with a 1st & 2nd edition feel. It's super easy to convert 1e and 2e stuff to and fairly easy to convert 3.0 stuff to. My current favorite versionD&D 5th edition - I only played one session and own the PHB. It simplified what became overly complicated and crunchy game with 3.0/3.5/Pathfinder, it has some interesting mechanics like advantage/disadvantage and a good entry point into the  hobby for new players.</blockquote>
