it really isnt confusing when you have the editions down...just they didnt come out in numeric order since D&D and AD&D are two different games.

OD&D = chainmail + supplements
B/X = basic BD&D
BECMI = Mentzer basic )
Rules Compendium = 5th edition D&D

AD&D (no number but 1st, 1e, etc)
AD&D 2nd, number printed on it.

AD&D was an attempt to do several things, including but not lmited to make a uniform game, not have different games out with the name D&D on them.

then you have 3rd edition D&D built form AD&D rules, removing the A part... to screw up uniformity in naming...

as long as you know what you played.. that is all that really matters.

If a fighter with an axe is breaking down a door on the cover, that's the one.

Dude, it was in the year 2000. I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday. The cover could have had a wizard driving a corvette away from a slavering pack of dickwolves while playing the guitar, while succubi licked honey off each other on the roof of it, for all I remember.

Bond? not Leon?

No, an assassin should not be bloody James Bond. Assassins make stealthy kills for money. James Bond does not do stealth. He drives a flashy car, he wears the finest clothes, he fucks every woman he comes across, and never met a bar he didn't like. It's fine for an assassin to act like this when he's not on the job. But when he is on the job, you shouldn't fucking see him. If anything, he should slip in, pay off the staff, drug the pets, slit a throat, only the one he was hired to, and slip out, perhaps tidying up as he leaves. There should totally be a guild, and they should all be stylish gentlemen who hang around a parlour, smoking and drinking brandy while they wait for a contract. But assassin's should lose their fucking shit if they see Bond's antics.

So you're saying you wouldn't remember succubi licking honey off of each other?

Oh, you had the special collector's edition!

I'm kind of tempted to make use of my unemployment downtime and draw this. Once my wife is asleep.

Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

You know damn well she meant this.

Well.
That was relatively fast.
... I'd buy it.

I felt a bit embarrassed that it was a sloppy sketch, but I felt alright about it since it was a rush job. I considered doing a second refined pic but the gag was mostly in the speed of it.

I should find and scan my sketches I was doing for After Sundown that I didn't have time to polish up final drafts since I was plagued with house-buying/selling business on top of my normal time drains back then.

My point was that the page listed the differences between the versions.
