No, let me be honest: it does not amuse me to be told I have motives other than or different from or opposed to what I directly state. Where, exactly, do I so much as mention this "thesis"?In fact, I stated directly, in that thread, "I expected slower AD&D1 advancement and faster D&D3 advancement, too."As I stated in the thread, my AD&D1 games advanced levels slower than my D&D3 games. But doing the research and data collection showed me that the difference in advancement was because of my DMing/play style -- I gave less gp in treasure at first, and then gave no xp for gp in my later AD&D1 days.I would really, really appreciate it if people would stop misrepresenting me. This is a major reason why I don't post here anymore. And it's also the major reason why I just stopped posting the research data.Some people thought the information was interesting. But a vocal group seemed to take some kind of offense at the information.This is hilarious. OK, no it's not.You asked:The module itself states directly: Front cover: "Campaign Adventure for Character Levels 1-8"andBack cover: "...will take beginning characters from 1st all the way to 8th level and possibly beyond!"The thread linked above completely supports that statement by the authors (E. Gary Gygax and Frank Mentzer), and shows exactly and precisely how this happens. Yet the data is disbelieved? You call the data my "opinion"?So rather than take the authors' word for it, or another poster's hard data on it, you're asking for what, exactly?Wow. What would people say about that thread if the data had contradicted what Gary Gygax said?Quasqueton</blockquote>
