[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9364411, member: 54629"] I’m always amazed by how well some people can remember the details of their childhood D&D experiences. I must have been 12 or 13 when my friends first invited me to play AD&D 2e with them, but I have no real memory of the rules. I can remember what the character sheet looked like, and I remember stuff like THAC0 and descending AC and 18/00 Strength. I remember the loose leaf binder sheets with monster stats on them. I remember taking over as DM at some point and having them fight a dracolich. One of them got taken prisoner by Lolth (or Lloth, as she was back then). But that’s about it. When I was in college around the turn of the millennium, I played in a friend’s hybrid 2e / 3.0e game. Again, I don’t remember many of the mechanical details, just that it was in a home brew world if his that only had humans, although he made an exception for me to play a Scottish-themed firbolg. He died and then I played a human blade bard. I stopped playing when I moved overseas, but then my siblings-in-law convinced me to play again with D&D 3.5e. Play and ran that for years till I got burned out with it (right around the time 4e came out). Played 4e for longer than I ran it as a DM. Made the switch to 5e during the playtest period. Been playing 5e ever since and will most likely adopt the 2024 revised rules (in full or in part). I’ve dabbled in a few other games but mostly have stuck with D&D. [/QUOTE]
