[QUOTE="Style, post: 1655873, member: 21072"] Covers? Covers?? Luxury! As a veteran gamer with three hundred years' gaming experience I can only laugh at this munchkinist faddery. Back in the day when we played the Post-It edition of D&D we didn't have covers (the legendary precursor to both Chainmail and the Fantasy Game, PID&D comprises literally a single yellow post-it note bearing the legend "Design fantasy game with classes and levels" - Gygax and Arneson still dispute whose handwriting it is in...). Classes and levels, classes and levels - that was it. And it was fantasy. I played a 97th level Dragonslayer, my little brother played an Anti-Illusionist who was about to reach Green Level and this one wierd guy who ran the local SCA played an enormous intelligent stoat who claimed he was level 200 and something - even back then you had your powergamers, I guess. The game has gone continually downhill ever since they put it into those stupid booklets. [/QUOTE]
