[QUOTE="Valiant, post: 3789432, member: 54792"] Shilsen, high volumes of magic in some dungeons doesn't indicate that magic is common in all dungeons, or that its common at all. It just happens to be a high concentration thats all. If you look at the old TSR modules, some have a ton of magic, others almost none (yet their from the same era and often by the same author). Its just variation (the spice of life ;) ). Concerning Information you can gather about setting from reading the early TSR modules (along with the PH and DMG), often its whats not mentioned that tells you about what the general setting is supposed to be like (for instance we never see magic replacing modern technology taken for granted by peasants). Sometimes what you don't read tells you more then what you do. Shil -I've never read the 1e core books, but I've heard that before.- Wow, this is a 1E thread, you really should read the books (at least parts of them) it will give you a better understanding where us 1Eers are coming from. Not to mention, they are alot of fun, great fantasy in their own right (never mind the rules). Of course, you may also discover that you like it and might want to give it a try, who knows, it may even turn out being your favorite FRPG. :p [/QUOTE]
