[QUOTE="adndgamer, post: 48431, member: 2764"] Exactly. Dungeon crawls are great, because they're easy and fun. Maybe someday I'll change my mind and decide that I want to have political intrigue and such, but as for now, my players and I are happy to go around doing dungeon crawls. After all, isn't that what D&D was named for? And as for the original topic...It's been explained by many already, but here's my 2¢. The 1st edition feel is the rough and wooly feel of the game. It's the dungeon-crawl atmosphere. And it's the simplistic approach. 1st edition was more complicated than OD&D, but it's nothing compared to 3e in terms of complication. Our gaming group is having a little meeting soon and we'll be changing some mechanics of 3e (probably taking out skill points, for example) and bastardizing it and simplifying it until newbies are able to make up a new character in roughly 15 minutes. Anyways, there's my little rant. [/QUOTE]
