What role does nostalgia play exactly, when evaluating how great a current campaign is running? What about younger gamers who are enjoying playing older editions? Gamers just like what they like and usually because it is what they enjoy the most. Sometimes, a memory from fondly remembered times will trigger a desire to revisit a game long forgotten. That is nostalgia for certain. If they then enjoy playing that game and decide to continue doing so it will be because it was actually fun in the present. I will be personally putting this to the test soon. Next week I will start running an AD&D 1E campaign for the first time since 1989. I have played and run some Basic D&D since then and played in a single AD&D session in 1999. I will find out for myself if the glasses are rose colored or crystal clear. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
