[QUOTE="Zelkon, post: 6241833, member: 6694612"] Well, my first experience with D&D was a long time ago for me. I was young and my friend tried to get me to play some 3e (he basically just DMPC'd me for the hour that we played). Well after that, I was given a Basic D&D box set from the 90s, say, five years ago, a while after that little game. I tried to play it, but when I got to the section about wizards and Vancian spellcasting, I threw it down in distaste and forgot about it. About a year after that, I played the 4e intro set with my friend. A year after that, I bought the 4e Players Handbook from a bookstore going out of business, and now I have around half the books and a DDI sub. So that's my background. Now, I don't have a ton of recent experience playing older games, but I've played a session or two of retroclones and I have the 2e core books. It's sort of weird in that it doesn't feel enough like a rulebook or manual. Nothing feels "official" or consequential. It's a really odd feeling. [/QUOTE]
