This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How many editions/variants of D&D do you own and why?

Ya know, come to think of it, MM was my first AD&D purchase as well.  We were playing Basic, played through B1 and had made some of our own dungeons.  Looking to expand horizons, I bought these Monster and Treasure tables - wait, those were actually my first AD&D purchase - and they referenced monsters that were unfamiliar.  So I went back to the hobby store a couple of weeks later and, lo and behold, there's this book...with monsters....and I was hooked. I think I bought the PHB like 9 hours later...

I didn't start playing AD&D for about a year and a half after that.  Didn't have the money and didn't see the need.  I eventually started playing when I went to High School....mostly because the D&D club my sister started played AD&D...besides, you could play a Gnome with AD&D :)  This was the first time I played with anyone else besides my sister.

Tangentially,

a) the Fiend Folio rocked;

b) Jeff posted a link to a wonderful MM on his blog:

It doesn't get more 1E.

My favorites at first glance: Room, Animated; Kender(!); Ytibbrikee. But they're all good.

Brown Box D&D.

I have the original 3 volumes of AD&D, but only cribbed a few things.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.
