[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 3186380, member: 27051"] This is a great point, and one that I have been ruminating over for some time. I've not quite been able to put it into words, but the above quote is very succinct. It probably has something to do with the Enworld demographic, but I have had the feeling on more than one occasion that there is a "forgotten group" or "lost generation" of gamers who were quite at home with late 1e and 2e style. Is this group well-represented at somewhere like Dragonsfoot? I'm not there very often, so I wouldn't know. I started with the Erol Otus box (although my first games were with a DM who ran OD&D instead) and played and loved 1e for several years. But I also had lots of fun with 2e (my longest running games were 2e games, and I'm a huge DS fan). I'm equally enjoying 3e, but see more discussion of the earlier and later periods on Enworld, and less of the middle years. Interesting. I think I'll open a thread about discussions of adventures from those eras and see where it goes... [/QUOTE]
