D&D is a fairly complex gaming system no matter what version you play. For beginners 3ed. is probably the easiest to grasp as the di rolling is simplified. Yes, it can be fairly expensive. There is a virtual library of books that you can get to intensify the game. All that is really needed however is the PHB (Players Hand Book). I have played all 3 versions and prefer 2ed. to the others, but that is just my opinion.

Is it fun? That really depends on the group that you game with and the DM. If you get in with a good group, and an imaginative DM it is the best game in the world, hence its loyal following and longevity. If you get in with a poor DM, and a group that can't get along simply leave the game and find another one.

Hope this helps you out.
