Enjoying the time off

diaglo · 31st October 2003, 03:26 PM

After playing the Original Ravenloft last night as a one-shot, i came face to face with the reality.

i can't play this edition.

i prefer the old game and the old ways.

i'm gonna take time off and reflect.

cya round.

You'll be back, you know it! We may be new-fangled but we all have the same roots. (How's that for a mixed metaphor?)

Run a game; you could find players. And still play 3e- it's full of cool stuff and a lot of neat new eyes.

And for god's sake, hang out here either way!

How exactly does CYA become round? And why do you need to do it in this case anyway?

So long. Adios. Don't let the door hit you in the ...

Oh nevermind. If you enjoy 1st then go have fun. Don't let us stop you.

I agree with the old guy. I just started DMing a 3E game again after taking a break for the same reasons. It's quickly returning to me why I gave it up in the first place.

But that's okay, I still have my other game to play in.

Ciao diaglo, cya round the cubicle.

so you prefer the old edition, ok that's fine, absolutly nothing wrong with that, but why is that a reason to not post here? Just dont post about rules, heck hang around in Meta or Fantasy books.

Of course Tom said the same thing and he was gone for such a short time it was like he never left.

It seems like he actually post more since he "left the board" than before, I see his post everywhere now.

thank you all for your kind words. i am trying to avoid posting to threads i would otherwise get riled about.

by the way, it is OD&D(1974) as my edition of choice.

not 1edADnD.

One of these days, I've GOT to play an OD&D session with you.

Seriously, just from your enthusiasm alone, it oughta be one heck of a session.

Be sure to bring your extremely-rounded, low-impact dice with the crayon-colored-in numbers!

I forsee a game at Gencon or Origins.....

Dude, I'd play od&d with you in a second!

Can't think of anyone else who could get me to these days, though...
