Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 4514873" data-attributes="member: 158">If it were a "stock standard" 1E game, maybe not -- part of the fun of that game and similar is the fun stuff a DM comes up with, like abnormal magic items, on-the-fly stuff that the DM would let you do in the middle of a combat round, stuff like that. For that, a DM running a stock campaign might frustrate me in the long run, but I'd still play a few games of it if nothing else.Another part is gaming the system, with things like lightning bolts bounced just so to catch a bunch of enemies around a corner, or cleaning out a warren of kobolds with a fireball in a series of 3' x 3' corridors, or beating the odds that you can get use out of your haste spell without it killing you, beating the odds on the potion miscibility tables, etc. That part you can do in even a stock AD&D game, but if the DM is a bad one, she or he runs the risk of screwing you over and negating as much of it as possible, and killing the fun of such a thing.So, a few games of it? Of course! I'll take the 10' pole, the iron spikes and mallet, the hard tack, waterskin, backpack, 50' rope, 4 empty sacks, the chalk, silver cross, holy water, and off I'll go! For a campaign, the DM would have to have the skill to make it a good one, though.</blockquote>
