    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    I changed the title of this thread because apparently it was super confusing and the sarcasm didn't come through like it did the original. Now it's a mess. It was originally: Original thread: Why would anyone want to play 1e (cause RAW it was awful, here's a thread about all the challenging...

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    This is largely true. I say largely, because it was probably one of the most deadliest editions RAW (I'd argue OD&D and B/X were deadlier). But a lot of folks forget things like henchmen/hirelings -10 hp before death tons of healing potions all over, and if you had a cleric with a decent WIS...

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    see above Also: edited the title for clarity, because the sarcasm didn't come through. the original thread was "why would anyone want to play 1e RAW" as a sarcastic title, meaning, "1e RAW is really bad I can't see how anyone would want to play it." This title was a mirror of that, but...

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    Well, Occam's razor says I'm an idiot. That's the best answer. The alternative is, "listen to what I mean, not what I said." :P Man, I let myself get mixed up with double negatives.

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    OK folks, that thread I posted to in the OP? That's the thread about why would anyone want to play 1e. This one is about why would anyone NOT want to play it. If you want to post why you wouldn't, the original thread is perfect for that. Thanks :)

    Sure. See my other thread I linked to in the OP 😉

    I shall point you to the initiative rules in 1e. ;)

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    I guess what I'm getting at is I see a lot of people cite how 1e was written or the 1e rules as to reasons why they would never want to play it, and I'm saying don't let that stop you, just make up your own or ignore them, because that's what we all did. The biggest benefit for something like...

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    A couple months ago I posted a thread about why would anyone want to play RAW 1e, and gave reasons. As a follow up to that, and after several more sessions and talking with friends about OD&D, I realized why I loved 1e, and still do. Hint: It's to NOT play it RAW. A little context: We were...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Pretty common in 1e at least. Just go skim through those modules. Magic items were everywhere. By design, because they were used as a way to keep fighters and other mundane classes up to power with casters after name level.

    Can we have (-) only threads now?

    Yeah, that's my question too. + threads are "let's talk about 4e, but only things you like about it." That has value, because fans can talk without people coming in to pee in their cheerios. Would a - thread be "let's talk about 4e, but only comments about how much you hate it are allowed."...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    I'm more disappointed in the HP remake because it means more money to you know who (pun intended).

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    On a related note, I've heard a couple times about remaking Peter Jackson's LOTR movies, and the overwhelming response is "No way! It's way too soon! They couldn't do it better!" Then I realize that Hollywood does remakes every 20 years or so all the time, and guess how old the LOTR movies...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    I agree with this, and if I may, I want to expand on an analogy not just directed at you, but several posts I've seen re: "remakes ruin it for me." or "remakes take my nostalgia from me." Let's look at John Carpenter's The Thing (1981). It's one of the best horror movies ever made. I have a ton...
