[QUOTE="Joe123, post: 1470198, member: 10325"] My introduction to the game came by way of a heavily revised version of OD&D (1974). It was much more like the original than 1st, 2nd or 3rd editions of D&D. One of the best aspects is the game runs [B]much[/B] faster than 3 or 3.5 D&D, as you are not burdened by so many [U]core[/U] rules. Regardless, it had fewer player options, than is available in the current version. If I had to choose, I might say, 3rd ed is probably better, although it does not rival OD&D in terms of the simplicity of game rules, ease of play and learning, as well as fast-paced "action." I currently play 3rd edition D&D and won't buy any more [U]core[/U] rules for D&D, until fourth edition, comes out. (After all, why pay for three new 3.5 core rules books, which have only 25% newer content than 3rd edition? Since 3 and 3.5 are so similar, I'd rather just wait `till fourth edition, whenever that comes out, [hopefully not for another eight years, at least!]) [/QUOTE]
