    Listening to old-timers describe RP in the 70s and 80s

    You have nailed it on the head. The style of play I now DM is very different to what I played back in the mid 1970's (when I first started playing) and it continues to morph and grow. Each and every gamer I meet and get chatting too all have different takes on the games they play and gaming...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    Still playing 3.5 with homebrew and multi-classing hasn't been an issue for my groups for the last 20 years due to them being a role play choice rather than power/min-max choice. I've been playing DnD since the 70's and for me 3.5 even with it's warts (hence the homebrew) suits the play style...

    Silly rules thoughts

    Good answer, this how my group play fire resistance and items catching alight. Admittedly there are a number of additional saves to make for carried items when the character fails their save, but it is logical. We also look at if the items are inside a leather pouch etc.. and it makes it's...

    How do you feel about the future of D&D after the official announcements?

    Neutral - hopeful I've been a playing of DnD since the late 1970's, I must say I have enjoyed all my experiences with the game except with 4th. Not a hater of 4th Ed it just didn't suit my group and our style of play. Over the years I supported my favourite RPG and like a lot of other...
