Difference in D&D Editions

I came across this somewhere (if anyone can remind me I would be most grateful) and saved it because it amused me.

BUT - the more I ponder this, the more true it becomes - anyone who's run games/played games of every edition of D&D/AD&D (as I have) will love this!

Difference in D&D Editions

Original Edition D&D -
 “That fight was really hard.” -> The party was wiped out.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition -
“That fight was really hard.” -> Half the party is dead.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition -
“That fight was really hard.” -> One member of the party is dead.

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition/3.5 -
“That fight was really hard.” -> One member of the party was close to 0 hit points.

Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition -
“That fight was really hard.” -> I can’t believe we were down to using At Will powers.

  1. Found this page on a google search. Love it! I'm a 1st edition ad&d guy. Really excited for the Premium re-prints. Ordered two full sets.
