Old school feel means that the group works together as a team to acomplish something and nothing is just a dice roll. If it was just a dice roll then why play was the feeling I always got because of the descriptive nature of my DM made it feel real to us. Old school means that you may not want to kick in the door because you have no idea what is on the other side. What is on the other side may be a very high level monster that you could avoid, talk to to or otherwise not have to get killed by. Many of my old players were parinoid ....they warned the newer 3.5 players but as power gamers the new players headed them not....the older players survived and the newer ones learned or moved on. A great example of old school to me is the A series of modules by TSR. The slavelords can be very deadly in 3.5 and AD&D and it is converted. The temple both old and new when run correctly can easily also be quite memorable. It is up to the DM to tell the story right. The players will make memories if they play it as a Role Playing Game and not a Dice fest. Later, Darius</blockquote>
