[QUOTE="kyuss, post: 47098, member: 1776"] [b]1st edition feel[/b] "The Third Edition of the world's most popular fantasy roleplaying game is here. Are you a veteran gamer? Do you remember the good old days of fantasy roleplaying? We at Necromancer Games do, and we are committed to producing high-quality products under the D20 System for use with Third Edition but with a "classic" First Edition feel." Now I myself never played 1st ed. Can someone explain what a "first edition feel" is? -Abyss I'd say 1st edition feel was stuff like Gutboy Barrelhouse(a 1st edition "iconic") and charts like the wandering prostitute table (brazen strumpet, anyone?). It's artwork like the great picture of Emirikol the Chaotic blasting people outside the Green Griffion tavern or the Paladin in Hell. It was the bizzare, superfluous Gygax writing style (I still like to read my old DMG just to read his prose). Part of it, I think, is that 1st edition D&D was totally different from any game I had ever played before. It was new and mysterious. I still love the game, now more than ever, but after 16 years of playing and DMing I know all about the monsters, magic and treasures. Unfortunately for Necromancer, part of the feel came from game mechanics like negative armor class is good, 1d6 initiative, and 1 minute rounds (a no-prize to the first person who knows how long a segment was!!).
