If you were playing 4E, why did you decide to investigate/play an original edition game or retroclone?I am unhappy with the 4E rules, mechanics or approachI am unhappy with how Wizards of the Coast published/marketed 4E4. What attracted you to investigate/play an original edition/retroclone D&D?I used to play these games and wanted to "go back"I liked the approach of the rules/mechanicsI liked the philosophy behind the rules/mechanicsI liked the "feel" (Swords & Sorcery or pulp) of the game5. How did you learn about the original editions/retroclones?I already owned my older booksFrom a D&D related forumFrom the retroclone publisher's websiteI cut my teeth on AD&D 1st Edition. Played 2nd Edition throughout the 90s. I started looking back to AD&D and Basic D&D during third edition, because DMing became a chore and I wanted a simpler system that didn't focus so much on rules and power, but on story. About a year ago, just before 4e came out, I ran a 1st Edition AD&D game. It was blast to run. The players, for the most part, liked it too, despite some of its quirks. I'd love to run a OD&D campaign because of its simplicity. You just sat down and played the game without having to keep track of a lot of rules. The DM can easily tailor the game to his style of play.</blockquote>
