[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 4200089, member: 1003"] Yes. I am most familiar with AD&D 2e, but from what I have read about older editions, it's certainly there. That doesn't make TerraDave's feeling wrong. I think 4E is much closer to older editions than 3E was. But the 4E devs did want to take advantage of advances in game design. You can get classic feeling without having to use old school mechanics. Mercedes Benz does this all the time. By the way Philotomy, I've read most of your musings and I really like them. I've also joined your OD&D forum and have been going through the posts. It has inspired me to buy the Rules Cyclopedia from RPG Now, which I intend to print out and bind. I expect my next Greyhawk campaign to be 4E D&D "even more inspired by BECM than the default". ****** To further get the feel of OD&D, I recommend referring to all Martial Powered classes as Fighting-Men and all Arcane classes as Magic-Users. :) [/QUOTE]
