When AD&D was first published, there were some raised eyebrows, and disappointed players who were used to the loose rules of OD&D, but people bought the game, and then happily changed things to their liking. You had to, in order to stay sane. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😊" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />With all the games on the market these days and with designers having learned a lot over the decades, if AD&D was published today, it'd be stamped as"unplayable." And that prose! But all game writers copied Gygax prose and style in those early years. Bunnies and Burrows reads like a university thesis! And those bunnies were expected to do a lot of adventuring underground. Thought rabbits bolted underground to escape danger? I'm really getting off topic. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🙄" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" title="Face with rolling eyes    :rolling_eyes:" data-shortname=":rolling_eyes:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
