[QUOTE="JediSoth, post: 4896897, member: 13882"] Two years ago, this would have been a much easier question for me to answer. Overall, I think my favorite edition was 3rd ed. Things made sense to me (especially after the bloated mess 2nd ed. became), and most of the rules changes from 2nd ed. were things I was starting to house rule in anyway. If it wasn't for the release of 3.5, I would have achieved Rules Mastery in a few more years. I think 4E D&D is pretty easy to prep for and DM. I don't really like playing it, however. The electronic tools I've used so far are fantastic, though and something I'd really missed during 3.X. 2nd Ed. wasn't horrible at first, and the Core Rules CD-ROM made game prep easy. I had a nice handout made out with all the optional rules I had in my game and gameplay was smooth and flowed well. 2nd ed. also had some awesome settings. I wasn't familiar enough with 1st. Ed. to really be bothered by the switch to 2nd ed. (1st ed. AD&D and D&D kind of blurred for me since I was just learning the game at the time, and I had a lot of distractions like Paranoia, Star Frontiers, etc.). [/QUOTE]
