[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8585843, member: 59057"] I am totally late to the thread, but I still add my two pence... I think it is very difficult to adjucate what really changed between then and now for a simple reason: Either you are too young to have played it back then or you just grew older since then and changed your view in the game. I currently play the same adventure from ADnD (treasure hunt) with my students in 5e as I was playing 10 years ago with DnD 4e and which I played with my friends at university with 3.0 and myself in ADnD 2e. And it plays out nearly the same. Because the common denominator is that I play it with people who don't have too much experience with RPGs and they can grasp the rules easily and have the same sense of wonder. I however am different, and I know a lot more about the world and the rules and can't have the same immersion as I had back then when I played the adventure. Yes, the rules differ a bit, but at low levels that does not show through too much. And I think 5e resembles 2e more than the editions in between, but I think it is us who changed a lot since then.
