Narrative play certainly promotes player skill and rulings over rules. Grognards just act as if their playstyle is the only one that does because it comes from a nostalgic view of their treasured memories.  Its like when people say movies used to be better in "insert era". They remember the cream of the crop, not the vast amounts of unmemorable dreck. Speed of play? There was a reason so many ignored so much of the written rules and ran by the seat of their pants. I personally find 5E runs faster than 1e.</blockquote>
