D&D General What Is Your D&D Survivor Edition?

[payn]

Pathfinder classic would be hands down my first choice, but since thats not allowed I guess 3E can be second best.

5e

I voted for B/X. It’s not perfect, but it’s easier to add things than to remove them. There are also several games built on that chassis, so you aren’t stuck with just how things were done in the original.

 

[Parmandur]

5E, no contest.

 

[ccs]

1e.
Why would I pick any other edition than my favorite if I could only ever play 1 edition?

The only serious competition in my mind for 5th is BECMI/RC, because the latter handled the domain game well.

None. I would keep Fantasy AGE.

I read through (most of) the rules for Fantasy AGE and I really like what I saw. I just wish I could get a chance to actually play the system to see how it works in "the real world."

5E. The mechanics have gotten better, more logical, and easier to use consistently over every edition. I would never want to go backwards back to a time when AC went down, or there were hundreds of so-called feats that did little but add 1s and 2s to the numbers on your sheet, or everything to do with the game was so grid-focused that even the supposed hallmark of creativity, illusion spells... did nothing but move your figure up or down or across the game board.

We've been using it for a year now. The stunt system is fun. It makes encounters less predictable. You never know when a PC or an enemy will get stunt points to do cool stuff.

(awesome avatar btw, Logan's Run, such a classic)

5e was the simple pick for me. I have appreciated every version and the great friends I have made every step of the way. But 5e D&D plays so well, the game is so elegant, and the books so beautiful I am frequently in awe. Cheers, friends!
