[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9025549, member: 6796661"] One D&D may be the first time I may have to face this. Overall, I like the changes, or am neutral on them. I had a long gap in my gaming history. The only thing I can compare with D&D in high school. With Basic & AD&D, I fairly quickly moved to the 1e books. I didn't think of it as a different game at the time. It was kinda like the starter sets today. Basic v ADD may have been very different games, but I saw it less as switching to a new edition as graduating the the advanced rules. When 2e came out, I had already moved to Warhammer Fantasy. I remember looking at the 2e books in the bookstore and remember feeling that the art and layout was much nicer, but it didn't grab me. I stuck with Warhammer as my fantasy TTRPG until I went off to college and stopped playing TTRPGs for a long time. So, in a year, maybe I'll go all in on the new material, or maybe I'll be playing another system. If I stick with D&D it will be the first time I feel like I will have actually changed to a new edition. But then, so far, it seems like 1DD is mostly the same, so it doesn't feel much more different than deciding whether I'll continue playing D&D with my current rules. It is less about "which D&D" and more about "D&D or another game." [/QUOTE]
