[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4876471, member: 22779"] Heh, imagine how the song changes. Ariosto. You claimed that playing mega-dungeons was THE NORM of 1e play. You were questioned on this MULTIPLE times and repeatedly stated that this was the norm of 1e play. Even here you state: This poll pretty much proves that you are mistaken. Even if OD&D flat out stated that AD&D is only properly played in mega-dungeons, it doesn't change the fact that playing in mega-dungeons was NOT THE NORM. That it was unusual for groups to play in mega-dungeons. So, again, you are basically saying that Gygax was so out of touch with how people were playing the game that his basis for his game was false. That he would assume that people were playing a style of game so frequently that it was the norm when it appears to be the norm for only a very small fraction of gamers. I choose to believe that Mr. Gygax was considerably more savvy than this. But then, it's much easier just to continue with the ad hominem attacks rather than try to admit any mistake. [/QUOTE]
