D&D Sunday Morning Quiz - Which Edition?
Posted by Yax on June 22, 2008
DNDSMQ 06-22-08
This week’s quiz will test 2 things. First it will test your knowledge of the different D&D editions. And it will also test the new quiz A.I. - I’m dropping the psychological modifier. I realized that the bonus or penalty to the final score really depends on how the A.I. feels, not on how screwed up you are. I hope that 6+ months of negative psychological modifier won’t leave permanent marks on your psyche!
NOTE: Some e-mail clients and RSS readers aren’t able to submit your quiz answers to the website. If you’re reading this from an e-mail subscription or a feed reader you should head to Dungeon Mastering to take the quiz.

Although I think I could make that work for me… ((Hey any pickup line if said correctly will get a laugh)) but then my wife might get a little mad at me.
The edition that introduced the paladin class in its core books:
* AD&D 2nd Edition
Ok, somebody’s gonna have to explain this one to me, since there are paladins in my copy of the 1e PHB.

Well, I can explain that easily. I screwed up! You should still have had the points for answering correctly.

Can, will, and do…
Fun, even if I tanked and scored only 49%. Disappointing.
Publication Dates did me in, and the tricksome first question!
One fussy note: Basic D&D is *not* the version published in 1973. The 1973 version is usually referred to as Original Dungeons & Dragons these days. Basic D&D most commonly refers to the 1981 Basic/Expert ruleset (aka Moldvay/Cook for its editors), though it can also mean the 1977 John Eric Holmes version or the 1983 Frank Mentzer edition. See Dungeons & Dragons, or the Basic Set and its sequels
Thanks for the history Max
