[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 365794, member: 813"] I've played every edition but the little booklet version (when they were new) and I like the faster pace. In fact I'm in a 1st ed game at the moment where the advancement just crawls: we're 10th level and the DM gives out 5-7,000 XP / 8 hours of play time. That's at least 20 sessions between levels. (and we only meet once a month!) I can't understand how it doesn't feel like D&D though. The advancement rate is the last thing I think about when determining if something is D&D like. I look at thing like: are the dwarves dour? are elves frolicking in the woods? Do you walk up to goblins in their caves and kill them because that's what you're supposed to do? None of that has changed. And finally, how much did magic items cost in older editions? They use to be treasure that provided xp TO the character. A +1 sword was worth 400 xp. Now it costs 80 xp and 1,000 gp to make (or 2,000 gp to buy). How is that more expensive? [/QUOTE]
