It's been a long time since the old Tomes on the bottom shelf have been opened. The Dragonskins binding them threatening to crack as I poured over the familiar text. Soon familiar became intimate once more.
Talon had returned.
Our gaming group for the last several years has been playing 3.5 and dabbling in 4.0 and Pathfinder, and we've found that everything is blurring together. We needed to try something new, something different.
Our excursion into Marvell Super Heroes was fun, but didn't hold any of our attention for long.
Then I dusted off The Complete Rangers Handbook (literally, a thick layer of dust) - and threw it on the table. I ended up passing out Wizard, Barbarian, Fighter, Druid and Thief as well.
The first few hours were difficult for everyone, as many had trouble wrapping their head around such things as Surprise Rolls and Initiative on D10s... and (Gasp) THAC0 and MTHAC0, but once everyone got the hang of it...
... we're on our 6th weekend. Everyone's right on the verge of 4th level, and having the time of their lives. Less rules and graphs and erratas.... mroe role play.
2.0... oh how I've missed you!!!
