261. You insist that 3E is simpler to understand and faster than 1E in all circumstances.

262. You don't give XP for treasure in 1E.

263. You refuse to play anything but OD&D, because that's the only game where you can't powergame.

253. You spend more on your D&D books than on your clothes.

What's wrong with that? I'm a guy, afterall.

260. You understand how 1E surprise worked when a 5th level monk met a bugbear and a lone elf not in metal armour.

Hey, that one was easy. chance of being surprised plus chance of surprising minus 33.3%

In this case the monks chance of being surprised is 24%, the chance of the elf surprising was 66.6%. Total chance is 57%

And how many segments are you surprised?

"Overly complicated" comes to mind there.

265. You insist that hit points are the only way to model damage.

Cheers!
