And close behind that, probably Basic D&D/Rules Cyclopedia D&D/Whatever you want to call it. They're both easy to run, easy to play and fun. If I want a long, drawn out and story-driven game with lots of glorious combat as well as character interaction, I'll run 4th edition. It's great for well thought-out, structured gaming, and it can be really rewarding with that. The Rules Cyclopedia just gives you so much in one book, and it's great for on the fly, super immersive gameplay where anything can happen. I think they offer two sides to a coin in a really good way while both sharing important things I like (particularly simplicity and ease of running a game). When I want a lot of tactical thinking and long term, fleshed out characteres I run to 4th Edition. When I want to throw my players into really organic, inspirational cooperative story telling where no one knows what will happen and everything occurs in our collective imagination, I run and grab my Rules Cyclopedia.</blockquote>
