Message: <blockquote data-quote="GMforPowergamers" data-source="post: 8631563" data-attributes="member: 67338">I think I have said this before... back when I started playing 2e I was told stories of people playing 1e and it didn't sound too diffrent, but 1e had classes that did not exist in 2e (assassin and barbarian and monk) but no one in the area (even those that played 1e) wanted to let someone play those.   I found people who had house rules for there own classes based on those but no one would let me grab a 1e book and play.When I bought 3e I liked it (at first) but when 3e updated to 3.5 several books reprinted prestige classes with minor differences. at first there were some that would let you use 3e stuff... but over a year I found less and less until no one around her let it in.in those years even at cons nobody wanted to let anyone run a 3e haste... that was labled 'broken'now in 5e (a few years maybe 5ish ago) I ran a game were I had 'the survivor' and I ran a 9d4+x hp wizard that preped spells and had stone skin that negated attacks, and had fireball that filled it's area... it didn't take long to realize this was a 2e wizard (since 4 out of 5 players played with me in 2e) it didn't take too much work to make it go.I don't expect that anyone is going to let me PC a 2e wizard.  The same way I stopped expecting the 3.5 DMs to let 3e spells and prestige classes in. Now I will admit 4e was different, the essentials saw play with the PHB1. but nothing so far has shown me this is essentials... but more 3e/3.5  tbh I WISH it was more 3.5 to 4, but I doubt it,</blockquote>
