[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8720274, member: 7025282"] Well I was little then and played in grade school. And we just bought pdf of all of BECMI and played with my 8 year old. I don’t have many illusions about it’s harshness. We lost plenty of characters quickly. My son has a dwarf that survived and dealt the killing blow to an ogre. His other character died! But as it was, he was dubbed ogre slayer and had a good experience. One roll the other way and he would have had a different experience I am sure. But the rules are…bare. There is not much there. From that standpoint it seems simpler/easier. All of that said one pal got into it and wanted to keep with it. I like the added options and if I am being honest (this one hurts!) the added survivability of 5e. We fudged a lot in 1e. That the simple truth of it. And by so doing we had lots of fun. [/QUOTE]
