They really should let the writings of Shakespeare vanish, afterall, no new ones are being written, and there's newer snazzier stuff that uses much more current english. Definately need to destroy all that Shakespeare stuff.
In addition, they really should destroy any biplanes left. Afterall, we have much more current propellor/props out, and jets are much more up to date.
(I don't believe any of that, if anyone doesn't understand what I'm doing, just for the note).

Why? A "should" really needs a reason.
i mean they don't even make any those anymore.
And that's not a reason. The fact that they aren't made anymore has no bearing on the usefulness of the copies that already exist.
let the old editions die out and the new one's live.
I'm sorry: is my playing of older editions somehow interfering with your ability to play newer editions?

Well, they don't make it anymore - isn't that retired enough?
it's okay to play the old,but they need to move over for the new editions.
So you're saying "it's okay to play the old editions, but people shouldn't play the old editions" ?
And if the old editions need to move over for the new editions, then I have to ask: How are the old editions in the way? Why do they need to "move over"? In short, what the hell are you talking about?
How does someone playing an old edition of D&D have anything at all to do with anyone playing a new edition? And why would you even care?
How about this: I still play Zork and Space Invaders. If that somehow ruins your enjoyment of Neverwinter Nights and Unreal Tournament, then you have a serious problem, and it's you who needs to adjust, not me.
Same with the D&D.

Let people reminence if they want. Just as long as I can play d20, that's fine with me.
I DM a 3.0 game. And another DM runs a ADnD game. I will play in both because it's still DnD.
Just my 2 cp.
Keep stuff like this to your self, you are allowed your opinion but dont put it in the old edition boards.

Silly, silly boy...you should never, EVER, forget where you came from...without those "outdated" editions you wouldn't have your 3.5 to play...I have played all editions (starting with the original basic set in the purple box with the Errol Otus artwork...any of you other old timers remember that one;) ) and while I do enjoy 3.5 I do occasionally have a game of AD&D because it is FUN...Silly, silly boy
...
There, isn't that better? :D
I have all, yep all, of the AD&D Core 1st Edition Hardbacks, including Manual of the Planes, and Oriental Adventures. So why shell out on 2nd or 3rd Edition, when I could just buy into a different system for variation.
Personally I prefer 1st Edition as I know exactly how many books I am going to have to shell out for and what crazy suppliments a player will turn up to the table with. NONE - Its free for me to play (I have an extensive collection of modules, campigns as well).
Now if only someone would reprint the original Bloodstone series I could die a happy man, mine vanished and got broken up over the years.

One of my old players buried his friend with his DnD books. They half jokingly regreted it as with hindsight they wanted the old books back.
I like d20 alot better than 1st,2nd or DnD basic but I can't bring myself to let go of my old books. If someone said "wanna play 2nd ed " I probably would.

I enjoy 3e, but I won't pass up an offer to game, even if it was in ADnD terms.. ;)
The only thing a system offers is familiarity (or change), and ease of use (or more frequent hiccups). I'm happy to hear that folks are still out there using the early editions. There's nothing wrong with them. Hell, I've ran in-depth roleplaying sessions using Heroquest for Christ's sake. ;)
Or to an even greater extreme, I've actually run good campaigns in Rifts. Even though, looking at it as a system, that would seem to be impossible.
In other words, just let folk play what they want to play.
On the flipside of the coin, even meant jokingly, seeing sigs like "D&D is the only real RPG, all others are weak imitations" or whatever it was... well, it just sours my stomach. I understand that it might be meant jokingly, but...

Heroquest was pretty cool... ;)
I am not about to let go of my ADnD or DnD 1.0 books. I may play 3.5 now with our formerly ADnD group but we have a heavily modified house rule version of the game that relies on a lot of ADnD rules. Don't forget your roots people.

I have to disagree, if stuff like this has to come up (and we all know it does come up) is it not better to do so in a private thread than in the middle someone else's discussion where the point is actually being sidetracked? Here this sort of thing causes no harm to anyone who doesn't waste his/her time clicking into it. In short if You don't like reading this... why are you reading it?

Then don't start flame wars or bait other posters into such a thing. If you weren't trolling you would have posted this in another board and you would have used more tact.

He didn't...did he? Really? C'mon---did he?
And yeah. I started playing D&D back when 3e had just come out and 2e was on the decline. And now I play 3.5. So yeah, I guess I "moved over" the old editions to make playing time for the new.
But WHO CARES?
I could just have easily typed:
I've played D&D 1e since 1975 (I don't know the actual date, so grognards, please stay quiet) and have never allowed myself to look at an edition later than that---or even an errata. I don't know what this "sorcerer" class is all about on these boards, but I refuse to up(down?)grade! 1E ALL THE WAY!
The point is, you haven't the faintest idea which of those paragraphs is true (well--I hope you do, actually). But if I hadn't posted, you would have had NO FEEL for whether I play 1e, 2e, 3.0 or 3.5. Hence, it doesn't affect you.
So be silent.
And to the rest of you, stop calling him a troll. He didn't mean it like that. And he is very much improving. He's using capital letters and all.
So be nice and give him a chance.:D
Of course its different, we are roleplayers, reknown for being both picky, pedantic and most importantly anachronistic.

Ah you are so kind, and right. Its not that bad a start, lets face it in anyother hobby he probably would be quite correct (would you still be playing silent hill 1 refusing to play 2 and 3).

Actually a better comparison would be (would you still be playing the Baldurs Gate seris refusing to play Neverwinters Nights). Actually, perhaps we should say...(would you still be playing BG1 and 2, refusing to play Baldurs Gate:Dark Alliance). That they don't is understandable. Some do, but they are very different games.
I started gaming full time when Ad&D 2E was in full swing (1993-ish). That's all I ever knew. I was born and bred on that stuff.
Around 2000, gaming was temporarily exstiguished on my block. But, out of curiousity, years later I copped some of the new 3E books. It took me a while to learn the rules (self-taught), but once I did: I COMPLETELY FORGOT HOW TO PLAY 2E! Fo real! That stuff is just GONE from my cranium! Thac0? BendBars/Lift Gates? Saving Throw vs. Death Ray? WTF?
HOW can you players keep 1E, 2E, 3E and 3.5E rules in your head all at the same time!? It's not hard to play 3.5 on mon, 1E on tues and then 2E on Wed? Damn, that's alot of memorization!
LOL
peace,
MSD
