Default Re: OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun

(Oneupmanship eh? Okay, I can do that) In the begining, hmmmm call it '70 or '71 I think, there was a small A5 size (US equivalent) booklet, which became 3 booklets in a box. And then there was Greyhawk Manor and... After about 2 or 3 years it went fullscap / A4 and the imitators burst upon the scene with "Tunnels and Trolls" etc, and the more wierder ones. Anybody remember "Bunnies and Burrows", "Swords and Starships"? Then it went hardback and then it went re-write and AD&D... sometime 76'ish I think. (Somebody out there must remember the time line. I've still got the originals in storage back in England.)

For it's time AD&D was the way to go. No idea about now. The whole point of RPG's though (and I know Taera will agree with this) is not the mechanics, it's the role play. Any system can be used and cheated with. The story telling and teh fun of involvement in that story is what it's all about.

The KISS principle. "Keep It Simple, Stupid!"
