[QUOTE="Canaan, post: 3080318, member: 40239"] I get nostalgic thinking about the days when I was 10 or 12 years old and playing this game with my buddies. Heheh, I was so cheesy, I had a 20th level druid/20th level wizard named Allanon! Ring any bells? lol! He was in a party that later became gods....those were the days. We defeated Tiamat, who we found in a maze, just waiting for us to come kill her....lol! Anyway, I'm not talking about the Monty Haul aspect of those early days of gaming, but the concept of the fluid, free-form flow to gaming back then. We never "planned" characters or worried about 5 foot squares and movement rates. Encumbrance? eck, who needed it! It was about the adventure, the fun! I miss those days with the advent of 3rd edition and 3.5. I'm really getting burned out on this system. But nonetheless I will continue to plod along in the 3.5 ed world, because that is what the game is these days. Anyway, I try to keep the old school feel in my own game, but it's hard, because the players have certain expectations..... Anyway, just some musings for this glorious Friday...... [/QUOTE]
