[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 4886474, member: 18701"] Oh believe me, Old School D&D is definitely overrated. 1. 3e & 4e players don't flip out and run off into cave systems like Tom Hanks does. 2. When is the last time your female players hung themselves because her character died? 3. The only good D&D comic strips back in the day were Jack Chick comics. Now we have OOTS comics that are so well drawn that they make characters in Jack Chicks comics look like stick figures. 3. Nobody made a D&D movie during the Golden Years. But the newer generation was graced with an awesome D&D movie and then a sequel that was so good it even bypassed DVD and went straight to TV! 4. Back in the day, I had to sit around a gaming store just so I could hang out and talk about D&D with a bunch of smelly, hairy, & overweight old men. Now I get to post online in the comfort of my home and talk about D&D with a bunch of smelly, hairy, & overweight old men. 5. During the Old School years, the only women in the house while we played D&D were our moms. Now moms are [b]playing[/b] D&D! 6. In the 70's, all the players had that gawd awful thick porno mustache & wore shorts that were much too short. Now players sport the cooler looking neck-beard & even wear tight fitting belly shirts that aren't really belly shirts. I mean, I could go on and on about how Old School D&D is overrated... [/QUOTE]
