The Dungeon Bastard captures my position perfectly: http:\/\/youtu.be\/yRZ1CYYIsCg. <\/p>\n
I spent some time today with my friend Steve. He’s moving to California for a new job, which is very cool and also very sad. We’ve been friends since grade school, and we have very similar tastes in a lot of things. I was looking through his game collection, very little of which is going to survive the move, to see if I could find memories of my brother Michael. I succeeded, which is a topic for another post. <\/p>\n
The thing I found really interesting, though, is that he has copies of all the releases of D&D since the first hardcover releases – the original D&D books, 2nd edition, 3rd edition, 3.5 and 4th edition. We talked a bit about which ones to keep – he wants to find a gaming group in California, and would like to run a game there. He likes the Forgotten Realms setting for 2nd edition, so is thinking that might be the right one. He’s decided that he doesn’t like 4th edition, which I understand. <\/p>\n
My suggestion was that he keep just one book – his first edition Player’s Handbook. I figure that will demonstrate his geek cred, and if he finds a group in the Bay, they’ll probably be playing Pathfinder anyway. <\/p>\n
