[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3727090, member: 22779"] Well, I would think that anything beyond the rules isn't actually part of the game itself, and thus, any change to the rules shouldn't terribly affect what happens beyond the rules. To be honest, this has been my experience with the editions as well. I've done and played in campaigns ranging from almost pure RP to pure Hack and Slash in every edition and, really, it hasn't been all that different. For example, I ran the World's Largest Dungeon for an 18 month campaign. Took the PC's from 1st to 15th or 16th level. Way, way back in my youth, I played in a GDQ campaign along with a number of other modules. It went about 18 months and we went from 1st to about 16th level. To be brutally honest, I don't see an awful lot of difference between the campaigns, when you take out the rules difference. We killed stuff and took its loot. We went to strange places, met strange critters, then killed them and took their loot. When you move beyond mechanics, D&D campaigns don't have to be very different in any edition. [/QUOTE]
