Message: <blockquote data-quote="SSquirrel" data-source="post: 4897069" data-attributes="member: 5202">I think I have to vote 4E for all the previously mentioned reasons.  Less prep work, streamlined some of the things that don't matter so much, simplified a lot of the rolls, etc.  My friends and I would frequently give descriptions of our actions and how we would like things to go, but we get to the swinging of the sword, roll, and miss heh.  The receovery systems built into 4E allow a more cinematic style, which we used to try and accomplish in 2E back in high school.  I have fond memories of all the editions.  I started playing Basic in 6th grade in 1987.  I quickly picked up all the BECMI sets and started buying the AD&D books.  Freshman year some friends and I all picked up 2E and started a new gaming group, which lasted thru the rest of high school.  We played other things too, like TMNT, RIFTS and Vampire, but D&D was always our main game.  3rd Ed came out and I had a very different group of friends and we played the heck out of that.  My 3E group fell apart around the time of 3.5 and, not liking the way 3.5 was going anyway, I passed on it entirely except for some 3rd party material.  Now I'm back w/a couple of my college friends plu some new friends and we occasionally get together for CoC or 4E.  Dark Sun next year has me very excited as Dark Sun was one of those great 2E capaign settings we spent so much time reading and talking about and occasionally even playing in during high school heh.</blockquote>
