Default Dungeons & Dragons

Just curious does anyone play D&D and if so did you play it when you were a kid. I am asking because I used to play AD&D 2nd edition...i know its changed 100x since i stoped playing and wanted to know if it is more user friendly now. I have 2 x 10 year old kids that i wanted to intruduce to the game sort of story time/play with them, is it worth buying new edition and content or should i just stick to my old stuff? does the new stuff have more eye candy so they dont get bored? any input would be great thanks.

wow really? so since i stoped playing nothing good has come about? i still have my 2nd edition stuff i can dust them off..but i think i should at least buy some figures or fluff they are kids and in these days they get easily distracted. I wanted some eye candy to keep them interested. =) 2 Advanced D&D 2nd edition is still gold? THAC0 system? =)

Even 2nd Edition was kind of crap compared to Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. If you want the really iconic, Everquestesque experience, do yourself a gigantic favor and find some AD&D rulebooks.

They have superior art and simpler rules. I was GMing before I was 10 years old.

Me and my friends just started playing D&D a few months ago. We usually play like once or twice a month and use 3.5. I would suggest 3.5, but I'm sure 2nd is fine. They have a bunch of miniatures now, but I think those are mainly for 4th edition. What's more important than anything, as I'm sure you remember, is a good story, and a good DM. Add some music, maybe use some EQ music to set the mood.

an alternative might be pathfinder since the newer versions of dnd are subpar

I played a cleric, and convinced a peasant that he would be serving God if he carried our gear for us on our journeys.
