You're still playing Holmes edition D&D? Then, yeah, I guess for you it works just fine. Congrats.JeffB said:I am still playing 35 years later...I reckon that Holmes set was not nearly as bad as you make it out to be.
You did give "handholding" a bit of a negative twist in the line I quoted. Even though the Holmes edition was explicitly produced to handhold newbies into the game. It's essentially saying, "This introductory edition is bad as an introduction because we didn't need an introductory edition to introduce players."
It reminds me of: If a project isn't worth doing at all, it isn't worth doing well.
I think the concept that Holmes was wanting to produce -- a basic introductory edition of the game -- is a great idea. It just boggles my mind at how bad the product turned out.
