Pondering D&D stuff
I am currently running a 1st Ed campaign, which is my system of choice.
I do dabble in 5th ed, but 1st ed is where it's at for me. I don't want to get into a whole essay about my reasons, but since getting into D&D in the mid-80s I've played BECMI, 1st ed, 2nd ed, 3rd ed and 5th ed... with some one-off forays into OD&D. I have never tried 4th ed.
And while I love elements of most of the editions I've played, ultimately I've found 1st ed to be the most engaging for me.
