D&D General Which edition of D&D are you currently interested in?

[Zardnaar]

I'm enjoying 5e but if someone was interested in playing basic or 2e I'd be all for it. The basic rules cyclopedia is still one of my favourite books.

I want to run one if them next game. IDK if the players would do it though.

If I can give them a pretty book to look at like C&For ACKs it helps.

They'll okay Star Wars D6 though as I ran a one shot of that and they enjoyed it.

If "interested in" means read, then all of them. If it means "reasonable chance of running or playing" then 5e. I assumed the latter as clicking every box wouldn't give very useful results.

A little bored with 5e to be honest. After our current game ends we will probably take a long break from it.

I chose 5e and 2e AD&D. I have been tempted to try running 2nd edition. I don't even know if I'd get any interest for people to play. Unfortunately, it would need to be over the internet, and finding something compatible with 2e AD&D is quite difficult. Bad enough with 5e and finding it tough to be able to do all the homebrewing I do. Would be dang near impossible for 2e. If only I could get all my players in a single place... Would be so much easier.

So yeah, I'd love to attempt some AD&D 2e again. Get some actual play in on that (bought my books in 1998, and 3e came out 1.5 years later). I also wouldn't mind maybe a 3e game (not 3.5, but 3e).

Now that I have discovered people with whom I can play my favourite edition, I am mostly reinterested in 4th Edition.

There's been a few votes for 2E.

I went back to playing 2nd edition back in 2012 (prior to that, I was playing 3.5 and PF). Back in the day, I originally played 2nd edition from its start in 1989 until its end in 2000.

I never played 4th edition, and I have not played 5th edition (and honestly, I really don't have any desire to).

I'm open for playing in other editions, but I wouldn't bother DMing and older edition. I quite like 5e and have little time to game. When I do run other systems, they tend to be in other genres or very different rule sets. For example, I wouldn't bother buying and running other fantasy system, though Numenera and Strange may be an exception. I like the Cypher system and the flavor of the game and setting are different enough to make me want to run a mini campaign.

As for playing in another system, I would be interested in one-shots or mini campaigns with a DM that was patient enough to not expect me to be an expert in the rules. But even then, I find myself at conventions gravitating to OSR games like DCC, rather than the actual older editions.

I'm designing my own retrowhatever, with the high premise of reimplementing AD&D's Player's Option series in BECMI. I'm looking at a lot of 3.5 and Pathfinder 3pp for inspiration-- Tipsy Tabby Publishing's Overhauling Multiclassing and Rogue Genius Games' Genius Guide to the Talented $CLASS series especially.

So I'll run Rules Cyclopedia or AD&D 2e Player's Option pretty happily... though 3.PF is still too much work... and I'll play any of the three under a flexible and generous DM.

I have a friend who only wants to run D&D 3.5 "Core Only"... she invites me to play, I express my enthusiasm, and then she says "Core Only". She doesn't understand why I immediately back out, and I don't understand why she doesn't say "Core Only" up front, and neither of us will ever learn.
