[QUOTE="wicked cool, post: 8431365, member: 85714"] In the authors defense there was a period where D&D did die and there have been radical changes to the game. There was a period of time you couldnt find the book (mid to late 90's) and it was pretty much magic the gathering. even miniatures companies disappeared such as Ral Rartha etc. At the time i found a new group that was still playing 2nd and i had to order an old copy off rules on ebay for a friend Then 3.0 in 2000 and then the started releasing the new edition draft rules online for 3.5 in 2003. Biggest change in D&D for me is low level monsters and even some mid level monsters are not as scary as they were back then. Back in my day lol so many games you were lucky to survive an entire module and sometimes an encounter. TPK was greater than 50/50 Examples-giant spiders were super deadly before 3rd edition if you were in a small group. Same with ghouls if you died a lot of times the cleric didnt have raise dead. If you were say a dwarf there was a chance the only spell the cleric had was to bring you back on a random table where you were lucky to come back as a humanoid [/QUOTE]
