[QUOTE="Col_Pladoh, post: 3661468, member: 796"] Pity you missed that, for it is the most free-wheeling of all versions of the D&D game. OD&D is now the one I prefer to play when I DM. And so? There is such a thing as reading between the lines, interpreting what is recorded to suit your own particular conception. While your credentials are not lacking, how many tournaments did you DM? In how many other campaigns did you play? Quoting from books and articles is not particularly valid when searching for something other than the letter of the game or anecdotal accounts. It is axiomatic that the author is writing for a select audience, setting forth that which is meant to be conveyed, not necessarily how things are in actuality. As I said some number of posts back, there was a good deal of. "Do as I say, not as I do," in the material you refer to. That I can assure you, because I am the principal author of the early game material amny articles regarding the games and their play. Cheers, Gary [/QUOTE]
