[QUOTE="francisca, post: 5444651, member: 9734"] I quit my middle/high school group in 1987 because the DM became enamored with DragonLance, and used DL1 as his template for adventure design. I didn't like the railroad and cut scene aspects. At the same time, he really fell in love with the "Survival Guides", using it extensively in his homebrew stuff, and the game devolved into this: :START DM Reads us lots of text he wrote cut scene more reading staged fight, with the bad guy escaping on the way to pursue the bad guy, DM starts rolling every 10' to see what sort of slime mold we are stepping over in the dungeon cut scene DM wonders why we aren't on script more reading :goto START I didn't get back into D&D until 1999, though I'd been poking about the net and occasionally pulling out the books starting in about 1997.
