[QUOTE="Wik, post: 3942898, member: 40177"] By the way, for those who were wondering - I actually PREFER 3e to all the other editions. I just find that some of hte considerations that go into prepping 3e adventures were not there in earlier editions. And, yeah, I was being a little snarky. I'm doped up on T3s right now. ;) Looking back, I probably shouldn't have made those "points", since they ARE debatable. But, really, I think those generic adventures HAVE changed from edition to edition. For starters, in earlier editions, that "larger goblin" probably had a +1 or +2 to attack, and maybe double hit points. In 3.5, he has levels in a class, more abilities, at LEAST double hit points, better hit progression, better saves, and probably innate magical gear to boot. Not necessarily a complaint (actually, it isn't - I like how goblins and whatnot can be customizable like that... just look at the current PbP I gm!). Just an observation. I didn't know that BECMI rounds were ten seconds long. I actually like that. Should remember it next time I try to get a nostalgia game going on. And regarding that "nostaligia" factor - my game of choice when I was 12 was 2nd edition. Don't ask me why, I was silly in my youth. I hate it now, while I will always have a place in my heart for BECMI. [/QUOTE]
