[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 5628413, member: 6668292"] Don't worry, I didn't think you were coming off as combative. I was trying to be a little playful. I actually think we're very much on similar wavelengths (at least in terms of where the other is coming from on the topics thus far). As for the modules, I have never used any, so I can't relate to it too much. I'm 25 years old, so I'm a relative "newbie" to the hobby. I can agree that seriousness of play does indeed make a simulationist game much better than without it, in my subjective opinion. Anyways, I found your reply interesting. I don't know how much I'd like 1e style play, but I do know my dad used to play it 30 years ago, and said he was definitely engrossed and immersed in the game. I think he was the kind of player that said "I want to do [I]this[/I]" and the DM would say, "roll [I]this[/I]" and that was the extent of his knowledge of mechanics to some degree. He knew that certain classes got certain abilities, but not really how combat worked, as far as I know. And, I think in months of play, the highest level he ever achieved was 3rd. Anyways, good conversation. Thanks for the multi-day discussion. As always, play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
