[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3798036, member: 22779"] But, Reynard, like you I started back with the boxed Basic D&D set way back when as well. And, yes, I agree that the play at the table has changed. Mechanics invade much of what we do, and that cannot (and probably should not) be avoided. There are certain phrases you would hear in one edition that you wouldn't in another (Does this draw an AOO? for one) But, beyond that, beyond the minute by minute of the game, where we usually play, moving the focus back to the campaign level, I'm thinking it hasn't altered all that much. A campaign is typically a group of strangers meet, go out and do something relatively dangerous, become, if not friends then at least comrades, and then continue to go out and find strange people, explore strange places, kill everything that moves and steal its treasure. :) [/QUOTE]
