[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4875841, member: 18280"] Hrm. First off, Q's first module is KotB, which is definitely not an AD&D module. Second, in order to reach the conclusion that Ariosto is "definately wrong" for the AD&D module period, you would need to sample only people who were playing during said period. Third, you would have to include a poll entry for those who played a game that included a megadungeon (or more), but was not centered around the same, because these people would also fall within Ariosto's stated norm. While I think that megadungeons were [B][I]a [/I][/B]norm, I think that Hussar is correct that they were not [I][B]the[/B][/I] norm. They were not the norm in my own AD&D 1e experience. But even demonstrating that they were not the [B][I]only[/I][/B] norm doesn't necessarily disprove Ariosto's actual statements -- except insofar as he might have believed his own experiences were/are more typical than they actually were/are.
