Favorite version of D&D?

[Niemz]

What is your favorite version of D&D, and why?

[Conner Destron]

Is this a safe poll for a forum devoted to only 2nd Edition? *chuckle*

[Niemz]

I guess I didn't think of that , I hope 2nd gets more votes than 3rd...

[Conner Destron]

*LOL* What is it they say, "open mouth, insert foot"?

[Niemz]

Only 4 voters so far?

But at least 2nd edition is still ahead of 3rd edition by a three to one margin.

Or don't like polls or don't care to share their opinions or... well, in any event, given that it's an anonymous poll and they don't even have to post to participate, but they have to at least come look to clear the unread status unless they're not reading anything else here and just clicking "mark all as read" from the main page, it does seem strange that they can't just pick a dot and click on it.

Need an Any choice.
Each has something to offer, there are many rules from each I which were in the other.

So for me as long as it's enjoyable, it's a favorite.

I liked the fact it was easier to incorperate rules from Basic, AD&D, and 2nd Edition. My realm is a mix of those three editions, leaning more heavily on AD&D. Whereas 3rd Edition made it very difficult to use much from the previous editions.

At least without some hardcore converting that tends to kill the fun...

Hmm, out of our first 5 voters, no one liked basic or 1st edition apparently, how sad, I thought those were both pretty good in their own rights, though 1st was definately head and shoulders above basic, but basic had some really fun magic items that kinda never resurfaced.

What are you looking for? I have the Red/Blue/Teal/Black/Bash books right beside me here. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard of me to type it up for you.

Oh I've got all of them too, even the Book of Marvelous Magic, but my players HATE when I break out that book and 'convert' a basic D&D magic item on the fly for them because there's no chance that they'll be able to research what it does OOC... *very evil grin*

That's always fun, I still need to re-get/pick up the 4 book set of the encylopedia of magic.

I loved the chart for rolling randomly in them.

[Conner Destron]

I have that one too
But I'm usually surprised to find that at least one of the players in my group has a copy too, whereas none of them have usually ever heard of the Book of Marvelous Magic before. *eg*
