The Human Target
Adventurer
I have been running since 1991 and, like Manbearcat, have done so using multiple editions. Of my five players three have been playing for 25+ years, one for 15+ years, and one started only a couple of years ago. I am not sure why what I do is not D&D to you, [MENTION=22574]The Human Target[/MENTION]?
The mystery of the capabilities of traps and creatures and all the things behind the DM screen is a big part of D&D, I would assume to most people.
Having the monsters stats out for all to see is a very different play experience to me.
Didn't mean to offend.
As I've said before in this thread, the highly varied ways people play D&D is very interesting to me.
Heck, I wouldn't have enjoyed playing in a Gygax game.
