[QUOTE="Iosue, post: 9176242, member: 6680772"] The 1st Edition DMG example of play is one of the most lengthiest and extensive in the game, running two and a half pages of the DMG's tiny, tiny print. So there were certainly many more opportunities for both procedural roles and the talking it out kind of play seen in 2nd Edition. The locations are very different, but I think you are remembering that both involve a secret door elevated off the ground. In 2nd Ed., it's in the ceiling of a dead end tunnel. In 1st Ed., it's 10 feet off the ground in a wall. I like much of the 1st Ed. example of play, but the ending is probably the worst example of DMing I've seen in an official product. Good catch. I didn't notice that! Of course, this goes back to 1st Edition. [/QUOTE]
