Which Edition Do You Use?

[diaglo]

I voted AD&D 1e. The final, definitive version of EGG's vision for Dungeons & Dragons.

his eyesight was starting to fail him by then.

OD&D(1974) was what D&D was meant to be.

3.0 D&D.

Bought and sold the 3.5 core rulebooks.
A handful of improvements, mixed in with an equal number of negative changes.
A ton of changes that seemed to be made just for the sake of changing something.

All considered it was really only on-par with 3.0 IMHO, just different.
Given that I already had plenty of 3.0 books, I saw no reason to start all over again with 3.5, and conversion seemed unnecessarily difficult in most cases.

I did keep, and still use the 3.5 Monsters Manual though... immense improvement in that book.

The most unstoppable hybrid of all-- D&D v3.1415926....!!!

That's right, I play "D&D, edition pi!" And it's non-terminating! Mwahahahahahahahah!!!

G'day

Actually, on those miserably few occasions when I get to actually play an RPG, I usually play ForeSight or its fantasy adjunct HindSight. I am getting so desperate that I am actually considering teaching my twelve-year-old nephew to play RPGs. And he think Rob Schneider's Animal is a good movie.

But when/if I do play D&D, 3.0 works well enough for me.

I'm a junkie. I got all 3.5 stuff, and I'll continue to get it, despite not having any time to play for a while. But soon... soon, I tell you!

Besides, I blow more than that on DVDs in some months anyway. Now THERE I have a problem. I must be stopped.

Unstoppable Hybrid, which is mostly 3.5 minus the few changes I didn't like (i.e., Face instead of Space, Ambidexterity and TWF remain seperate Feats, etc.) plus 3.0 stuff from 3rd Party sources as well as my own creations updated as I saw fit to update them.

 

[Woas]

The only edition I've ever played was 3.5...

So the way I see it, I did not dish out $90 to WotC again.... I spent $90 on a game that JUST came out that I've never played before and enjoy it.

I'm kinda like an reverse-diaglo... I'll "grow up" on 3.5 and claim all the other editions are heretic stone age hippy versions...

3.45, but it's so close to 3.5 that I just voted that.

You know that the hybrid answer is very misleading since every edition after OD&D was 'designed' to be house-ruled hence most proabably everyone uses some form of house-rules (i.e., unstoppable hybrid).

I don't think so.

If you play 3.0 and 3.5, you might houserule either.

But if you play either version with a significant version of the other, then it qualifies as a "hybrid."
