[QUOTE="Enrico Poli1, post: 8109140, member: 6947027"] I actually began playing with BECMI and then AD&D2e, so I never directly experienced 1e "feel". So I have to guess from hints, such as playing the Gygax modules. 1e: characters feel almost as tokens in a Wargame or boardgame (when your character in Hero Quest dies, you are disappointed but you just make another) (The Hickman Revolution changed everything) 2e: characters now feel as the protagonists of a fantasy novel. 3e: characters are minmaxed to be efficient. In the long run, they feel as a bunch of maxed stats. 4e: characters feel as World of Warcraft heroes; the game has a strong "chessy" feel and team tactics are mandatory. 5e: roleplay over rollplay, rulings over rules: there is a return to the 2e feeling, but keeping a (streamlined) coherent rules framework from 3e. The characters feel as the protagonists of a fantasy movie. I personally prefer 5e. [/QUOTE]
