Thrid edition or not Thrid edition

[Strahd Von Zarovich]

a Quick poll do you prefer the 3ed D&D or the 2ed AD&D, or the 1ed D&D

I personaly prefewr the 2ed AD&D, Mainly cause I know how to you it and I don't feel like trading in all my 2 ed stuff for third ed.

I usually use 1st. But other times I will use a mixture of 1st and 2nd. 3rd Ed is totally stupid.. changed AC, changed a lot of stuff. Now that HASBRO owns D&D, I guess they think they need to make it easier to understand or something..

SOME things in 3rd Ed are ok, but I still have my 1st Ed DM book, and use it most..

I prefer 3rd Edition because now they are finally back to the starting point and the classes are well balanced. How long this lasts is another question but the third edition does make quite a few good changes to simplify things. But i found i didn't have the heart to carry over my character from 2nd Edition because the conversion just doesn't work. Cheers

Third edition definitely !

I have played with 1st and 2nd, and so far I feel that most of the complaints I had have been removed.

Take a look here for some insight about AD&D3 rules.

Most of the time I play 3rd edition but I pefer 2nd. The people I play with use 3rd so I find I have little choice.

Burn 3rd edition.... It is a discourse in DMs pummeling PCs into pulp and then spitting on them when they're down... all fun for the DM, little to no fun for the PCs. The multiclassing rule is cool, no cool furry races and no basic animal: fox (burn in disneyland WotC for that blasphemy!)

I prefer 2nd edition if done with moderation, fairness and control... it can get out of hand if not kept in check.

Well we all have the right to an opinion, but I can´t agree with you.

3:ed is much better for players and DM alike. Finally you can do something to teamup, end help even if you ae a wizard of 2:nd level.
Finally fighters has something meaningful to do and well, Rangers rule!!! Hehe, well as both DM and player I have to say I prefer 3:ed over the others. 2:nd ed is still good and well, I like both IWD and BG series so well, better something than nothing..

Very true, we are all entitled to opinions. 3e is a little too rule restrictive, not that 2e isn't. It is easier to bend, mix and meld the 2e system, the 3e basis seems to leave no room for individual tailoring and modifications. The 3e system appears to be written by rules lawyers (ooh, I hate these) and besides, I hate the art work (its well done, I just don't like it).
