The game has as blend of hack & slash, politics, role-play, dungeon crawls, wildnerness adventures, seaborne ones etc an a little bit of plane related adventures. Oh and no one showed anyone in the group how to play. I read the books etc DM'd the first session. So we had a learning curve in the beginning. We were lucky as this was before the Dragon Mag became a worthless rag. In fact the issues between 50 to 90 or are my favorites.So around 885 sessions for about 5500 hours of D&D gaming1980-1983 were the hey day of course and that's what "feels" natural but time doesn't allow for that sort of gaming anymore.Same Greyhawk "Celene Campaign" for 95% of it which started in 1980. While many players moved away etc and I moved too, there is one orginal player from the orginal 1980 group. Most of the orginal players played thru 1988. In 1989 four new players joined at the same time. In 2004 four more new players joined.Currently there are nine players with 28 characters in three groups in my 1st ed OAD&D Greyhawk "Celene Campaign"</blockquote>
