I couldn't go back to it, but sometimes there's a kind of pang, I guess. The covers were kinda cool, too. And some of the other artwork.* AD&D 1e: The first kind of D&D I was DM for, so again, there's a special place in my heart for this one. The crazy, all-over-the-place rules, a certain 'byzantine' charm, I dunno. Something like that, anyway.* D&D 3e: What brought me back to D&D. Brilliant design, mostly good presentation. It's very rare that I've been so stunned by the excellence of a RPG - going through my 3.5 books (I started 3e with 3.5) for the first time was one such occasion. Races and classes that are all more or less actually playable! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Multiclassing that really appeals! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> A skill system, something I had become accustomed to, that isn't too shoddy. Feats, and the flexibility and differentation that comes with them. A largely transparent and symmetrical system, that is easy to modify in many, many ways (as I have done. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )The others, I haven't played or run. A few supplements for AD&D 2e, I still own and occasionally use, so there's something in its favour, from my PoV. Rules Compendium should get kudos for being basically an all-in-one-book game - that's neat. Pathfinder, while strictly not 'D&D' (in name, IOW) looks fantastic, for raising the level (so to speak) of the D&D experience, in a number of ways. OD&D, I'd love to try, even if just the once. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
