In the 1E DMG under "Monsters and Organization", the base assumption was that a party would attack once, and then retreat and regroup for one full week before attacking again. 2 pages and 6 examples were devoted to helping the DM decide what the monsters might do in the meantime. I want that kind of gaming experience back, and I want rules that directly support it. Not an action movie, not a plotted story. And I can find such rules for D&D that do support that in numerous places: OD&D, BECMI, 1E, C&C, my own DimD20 rules, etc. Frankly, one of my primary griefs in the 3.5/4E era is that D&D seems to have been taken over by people who, while liking the idea of killing monsters with swords & spells, really actively disliked D&D to a large extent.</blockquote>
