[QUOTE="happyhermit, post: 6930005, member: 6834463"] Hah, I actually wrote a long winded paragraph on that in my post then deleted it. Rather than writing it again, suffice it to say we did too, due to curiousity and the general culture of the game through the years. After all, why [U]wouldn't[/U] you play the "Advanced" version of a game you loved. We had fun with AD&D too of course, over the years, but we didn't have [I]MORE[/I] fun than with Basic. At the same time the culture of the game (driven both by the companies involved and the community) shifted more and more away from "making the game your own" into buying more options. The 5e system, it's presentation and the PHB and DMG specifically has brought back that feeling I got from Basic in terms of a type of versatility that is hard for me to describe without going on and on. :blush: [/QUOTE]
