Message: <blockquote data-quote="D'karr" data-source="post: 405350" data-attributes="member: 336">When I started playing 1E, I was nominated to be the Dungeon Master because I was the DM for the original game.  I didn't have any of the books except for the DMG.  One of the players bought the players handbook and another one got the monster manual.We played 2 weekly sessions  from 1980-1987.  To this day the only two rulebooks I bought for 1E were the DMG and Unearthed Arcana, which I didn't get to use at all.The fact that you only need the PHB is a good one.  My budget is much greater for gaming purposes nowadays so I've definitely bought a lot more for 3e than I ever bought for 1e.One thing that I'm interested in is the following.  What things did you like about 1e that you can't do with 3e.Personally, the only thing I miss about 1e is the sense of awe I had when I first read the books and started building my first campaign.  I could never ever get that again from any other game.  The sense of wonderment is gone, not because of rules but because of nostalgia.However, I've found that almost everything I used for my 1e games I'm now rediscovering for my 3e games.Well, gotta go.  Have to prepare my adventure for tomorrow's game.  Aerie of the Slavelords, here I come.</blockquote>
