[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7956183, member: 6801845"] I think very few people played older editions strictly by the book ... or at least that was my experience. Which is probably part of the discrepancy in "feel". My games are, by and large, no more or less than they've ever did. That doesn't mean I didn't tweak a ton of things back in the day, I pretty much guarantee that we did. But a lot of people played a much, much deadlier game than I ever experienced*. For us the fun was playing a PC, not writing up [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ohk5Swy-04']yet another PC[/URL] to run through the gamut. Which isn't to say people played wrong of course. [I]*Except for the guy we had DM exactly 1 time who had us all bring multiple PCs and then proceeded to come up with "creative" ways to kill our PCs. Like roll a die and the PC's number that came up was smashed by a giant hand.[/I] [/QUOTE]
