Why is it so hard for youth to respect the elder ways?OMG... dude I have to really thank you for educating me on <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com" target="_blank">http://www.drivethrurpg.com</a>.   AWESOME.  I already have all the original books and modules (literally), many of them signed by the authors and have always wanted to digitize them.  I actually have meticulously typed about half my collection, including scanning the original artwork... into PDF's for my own use... there are some benefits to a digital world as this is a GYNORMOUS timesaver.  You still don't get my point that having played both ways, it is better in person, and better when you don't need a spreadsheet to track all the skills, abilities, and whatnots.  Just like dinner with your family.  Put down the smart phones and actually enjoy your dinner and have conversation.  Shut down your video chats, actually get together in person... and play.   I'll acquiesse and let you play with whatever complicated set of rules you want.   Ironically, in the true spirit of the original D&D game where anything is possible, your 5th ed rules still apply in my 2nd ed world (except when I choose to override them).   Btw, I've been a contributing author for about 30 years to WofC and before that, TSR.   Voicing my disapproval some aspects (ie. new rules) for newer editions is nothing new to corporate...</blockquote>
