Moldvay Basic & Expert, soon transitioning to a 1E AD&D and B/X mish-mash.

I know there are, but some of them I don't see post that much these days.Must have voted too soon. There have GOT to be more folks here who started with Chainmail!
Please ...
And there's one person on the forums who I know still has copies of the Domesday Book issues with the original Chainmail rules (one of only two people who still do, I am told).

I'm surprised anyone still has the Domesday Book issues. I have only ever heard of them ... although my best friend from those days did have those issues, I don't recall ever actually seeing them.

It's the arthur-itis. Gets devilish irritating most days.

I started off with 3.5. I had of course heard about D&D before even 3.0 came out, but I never actually played it until my high school friends pulled out the core books and we started playing a bit.
I'm inclined to stick with it as my primary D&D mode because it seems to have the most support and it tickles my fancy for crunching numbers.

Just looking at the responses so far... EN World has a whole bunch of grognards.
I started with AD&D. I believe it was 1st edition, but we also used some rules from 2e. But within a few years of my first game 3e came out and we liked a lot of what we saw so we started incorporating 3e rules. Never really played the Basic sets because when they were at the height of their popularity I was a kid living in a household where such things were forbidden (very conservative parents). I remember in high school having very long discussions with my parents just convincing them to let me play Magic: The Gathering. Somehow, they never had a problem with me playing Final Fantasy on my Nintendo though.
