Which is the best dungeons and dragons?

Answer 1

The best dungeons and dragons game? In the series? My opinion would be the one with the wizard and you go to war and go on quests. I know what its called, it's on the tip of my tongue. I'm sure someone will correct me. This is just my opinion, as I have Unlimited Adventures, ummmmmm Ahhh well you know :D Got em all :P See yuu

I've heard good stuff about "Pathfinder".

Answer 2

I always liked the Deep Gnomes.... Crazy AC and it improves each 3rd level.. but that was 2nd ED of Advance Dungeons and Dragons

Each Races has its Pros and Cons... Best Race depends on what class you want to be...

Drows are good for almost everything

_______________________________________________________________________

Humans in 3.5. A bonus feat crushes everything else. The level adjustment from drow isn't even close to worth what you get from the race (+2 Dex, +2 Int, +2 Cha, -2 Con, SR, elf stuff). The same goes for the deep gnomes.

Of course, if you're including templates, you can go with a necropolitan human. That's pretty awesome.

Catfolk (Races of Wild 3.5) are incredible. +4 dex, +2 cha, natural armor, improved speed, low-light vision, bonuses to listen and spot, with no penalties. All with only a +1 lvl adjustment.

As with most questions like this, this answer and all the above answers are opinions/suggestions. Normally I would suggest to just pick whichever race you find most interesting- I'm impartial to half-elves.

However, if you want good stats, there are some clearer pros and cons that can be weighed. Dwarves have a number of very useful features and few bad ones.

Dwarves get a Constitution bonus (adding a significant amount to hit points and fortitude saves), and only lose out on Charisma (which is nearly worthless unless you play as a Sorceror, Bard, Paladin or Cleric). They can also detect traps or secret doors made of stone just by passing by them. Furthermore, they can see in the dark.

Answer 3

3.5 Is The Most Preferred System For It's Complex Rules And Fun Character Options, However 4e Is Much Simpler To Understand And Is Still In Most Stores Today. It Plays Out Like An MMO In It's Rule Set, And Is Optimal For Begginers.

Answer 4

The Dungeons & Dragons game is a roleplaying game (rpg) that has been around since 1974, and created the entire rpg category. If you're unsure of how the D&D roleplaying game is different from a board game, check out http://www.wizards.com/dnd/essentials.aspx

If you already know about the D&D rpg, and are referring to an actual board game, below is my answer about the D&D board games.

The D&D game has seen many supplementary Board Games released over the years: to create some of the feel of D&D in a stand-alone board game, to draw introductory players into the D&D rpg, or to provide one-off breaks for experienced D&D players.

Most of these games are adventure "dungeon crawl" style games that emulate some of the experience of playing D&D, but with simpler rules and shorter game play. Some of these games were released by the company that made D&D, and others were created by other companies based off the ideas of D&D.

The classic board games, Dungeon!, DungeonQuest, HeroQuest, and DragonStrike were the staple games through the 80s and 90s. The family game, Labyrinth, also has many similar elements in a simple kid-friendly format. These games are all out of print, but can be found at thrift stores, garage sales, or ebay, sometimes for a terrific deal.

The newly released D&D board games (www.wizards.com/dnd): The Legend of Drizzt, Wrath of Ashardalon, and Castle Ravenloft, all give the D&D feel in a shorter game -- without a Dungeon Master. This means you and a couple friends can get together, and play a game where you each get a hero and battle randomly drawn monsters. All three games average between 7.22 and 8.41 rating at www.boardgamegeek.com.

Fantasy Flight Games (www.fantasyflightgames) has also done a great job bringing the D&D elements into boardgames. Their most popular dungeon crawl game is Descent: Journeys in the Dark by Fantasy Flight Games, which has gotten very good reviews and is a cooperative game with a Dungeon Master-like Overlord who runs all the monsters. Runebound, also by Fantasy Flight Games, has a similar dungeon-crawl experience, though each player competes with the others, killing monsters and gaining power until they finally battle each other to see who wins the game. Cave Troll is a simpler game that also blends elements of the dungeon with strategy.

In short, my recommendation is to go a local game store and ask if you can demo one of the D&D boardgames or one of the excellent Fantasy Flight games. Or, visit their websites and watch an introductory video. Check out www.boardgamegeek.com for reviews on the game you're interested in. Chances are you'll find a great game that has exactly what you're looking for.
