[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 3516749, member: 4937"] It disproves the assertion that 1E was [I]necessarily[/I] low-magic, in the same way that the guidelines in the DMG and the 1E random treasure tables disprove that it was [I]necessarily[/I] high magic - even without considering the variaty in play styles and house rules. What I was trying to assert was that 1E players could have had a variaty of play experiences that were not only valid (duh?) but even within the rules depending on what example from TSR's published works the players/ref emphasised and what you had experienced. As I've said many times before, there is nothing really like 'default' 1E play, because every table was so different (even in the rules they used). In any event, this is a red herring. How things were done in the past has no real bearing on the viability of doing them one way or the other. Arguing about how someone's 1st edition experience is invalid is just a way to derail the thread with edition wars. [/QUOTE]
