With my switching to C&C, and pulling house rules from every edition of D&D, and rereading all of those rule books, I've gotten so close to recapture that feeling its made me giddy upon occassion.So its possible, just a question of how to go about getting it. I didn't have to go back to playing 1E, but apparently close enough that I am as excited about gaming as I was back in my early days.How can Necromancer catch that 1E feel in 4E? Pretty much the same way they have in 3E. Cool, tough, deadly adventures that make you feel like one lucky SOB to still be alive and want to brag about it.Just because WOTC is whimpifying D&D doesn't mean every DM has too. "Deadly" can definitely be put back in.Heck, next month I am running I6 Ravenloft on line for 3 groups of 6 players, 3 games a week. Not only am I jazzed up about it, but so are the players. They are all trying to figure out how to be the first group to ever live through I6, let alone defeat Strahd. I have run I6 ten or so times over the years, and no one has beaten Strahd, and only one character got out alive. 73 PC's have died in Ravenloft Castle, and you can be certain if anyone does win, they'll have every right to brag. Even I will be excited if Strahd is finally beaten.This is what the "1E feel" is all about to me.</blockquote>
