[QUOTE="Valiant, post: 3738170, member: 54792"] Hobo, please chill out. ;) No reason to be so angry. Its just a game for goodness sakes. Thats nice that you like customization, I do too (3.5 is great for this). But 3.5 and 1E are different games. Just because you ONLY like customization, and wouldn't consider archetypes, doesn't mean other 3.5ers wouldn't (esp. those that haven't been to this board (the vast majority of 3E players) and aren't so jaded from past conflict. Remeber alot of 3Eers have never tried 1E. Personally I think alot of 3.5 players would love to read 1E if they had the books, and many would like to meet Gygax in person and game with him. You (and few others) I think are the exception. Also, just because I acknowledge my thoughts "might" be wishful thinking, doesn't mean I'm sure that they are. I could see people wanting to check out the roots of the game, sure (just as they check out the roots of Rock when there mostly into modern rock). Hobo, please remember, ENworld comprises only a very small portion of the entire 3E and 3.5 population, and thus does not represent the typical 3E gamer. Do you understand this? The typical 3.5 player is younger then most here, and wasn't even born when 1E went out of existance; and they very likely have never seen the 1E books (let alone seeing it played the way it was meant to be). So to them, 1E would be something new. Anyhow the reason I posted this thread here under a 1E heading was to discourage people not interested (supportive) in 1E from reading it (for their own mental sanity). Please, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. I really don't enjoy defending myself from your personal jibes, save them for someone else into that kind of thing. [/QUOTE]
