[QUOTE="WayOfTheFourElements, post: 8096711, member: 6904757"] AD&D was Gygax's new ways of playing OD&D. AD&D 2e was Zeb Cook's way of playing OD&D. 3e was Monte Cook, Jonathan Tweet, and Skip Williams's way of playing OD&D. 4e was Rob Heinsoo's. 5e was Mike Mearls's. Pendragon was Greg Stafford's Authurian inspired OD&D. Traveler was Marc W. Miller's OD&D in space. OD&D defined itself, not as a set of rules, but as an framework for creating one's own personalized game. Without OD&D none of those games would exist. They all derive themselves from it. Some of those personalized homebrews also have a price tag, but they're all equally valid ways to play the game. [LIST] [*]"Will enjoy playing DUNGEONS & DRAGONS®.
