[QUOTE="BJP, post: 2045853, member: 28849"] This may be an old thread - but thought I'd put in my tuppence. For me, similarly to so many others, first edition will always be about nostalgia. Reading this thread brought back an awful lot of memories... Happy days spent with Iuz and Zuggtmoy (after so many years of waiting), Edralve and Stalmin Klim (and the Earth Dragon), Eclavdra and Lolth; Count Strahd von Zarovich (look at the maps!); BlackRazor and Surge; those Sinister Secrets and Assassin's Knots; and that god-darned Keep (surely they installed a rotating door, the number of adventurers who must have come through). For myself, and probably many of you, we were pretty young, and we all have fond memories of childhood - besides which, at that age, we didn't need any of those pesky ecosystems to clutter our dungeons up. My favorite moment - an adventure I wrote (my first one, I was probably only about 10 or 11) - it had a room with 6 achaierai (I only chose them 'cos I liked the name) hiding under a table waiting to jump out and surprise the party. My friend, who ran the adventure, didn't know what they were, looked them up, and found they were actually 15 foot tall. That's one hell of a concealing table! And that, to me, is 1e in a nutshell - no consistency, no sense, just darned good fun - but probably more a function of age than anything else. Sigh - those were the days. Jim. [/QUOTE]
