Forked from: 1E DMG vs. 3E DMG vs. 4E DMG
I keep hearing that the 1e DMG is so great, that people still use it for newer editions. For what? By now you know Gygax' advice on the game, the rules do not apply to the edition you are playing, and the tables are about things most players don't care about. "A bloodstone you say? Yeah, whatever. I roll appraise. Dave, you track the loot right?" "A sensuous courtesan and a lustful trollop? Oh my!".
So what is it that I should print out from the 1e DMG that I will use more often than my 3e DMG?
Treebore said:In the 5 years I ran 3E I used the 1E DMG far more, the 1e DMG is still my "go to" DMG. No advice on running games? You need to read it again.
