[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 5439078, member: 9213"] Agreed. Shared experience is a big part of D&D I think or at least it used to be. When talking with other gamers who played D&D we used to be able to talk about the Moathouse from T1 or adventures in the Temple itself or G1-3 (Against the Giants) or D1-3 (Descent into the Depths of the Earth and Vault of the Drow) or Q1 (Queen of the Demonweb Pits) or A1-4 (Slavelords) or B2 (Keep on the Borderlands) or I6 (Ravenloft). Were there ANY of those shared experiences for 3E? Maybe The Age of Worms and Shackled City. You might be able to add in Rise of the Runelords or Red Hand of Doom, but otherwise? This is what I miss most about D&D. When people talk about D&D it's mostly about how broken something is or it's edition war talk or about someone's bizzare home brew setting. The adventures were important at one time, but now apparently theyre not, at least to WOTC. Which is fine. I have my old Basic and AD&D adventures and if I'm ever feeling nostolgic I can convert them to Pathfinder with relative ease and run them. ANd even if I dont do that Paizo definitely cares about adventures which is part of the reason most of my gaming budget goes to them to begin with. [/QUOTE]
