Someone who likes THAC0 in 2020, a rare breed indeed.
Less rare than you might think, we've just adapted
I actually prefer 1st ed. AD&D to AD&D 2nd ed., but it's a close call. Never could get into 4e, it was too streamlined for me while 3.0 and 3.5 felt too much like spreadsheets.
I wonder how many people still remember Mystara (my favorite setting along with Oerth (Greyhawk)) today though
Somehow lost sight of this thread. I'm with you @Kendaric. As much my ranking goes 2nd > 5th > 1st > 3.75b one of the things that makes 5th so good is the return of the "just tell the DM what you want to do an they'll decide if it works" instructions. I do miss 'alignment languages'
