Our play sessions could have been ALMOST equally 'shallow' in an RP sense. My father named his first 1e character 'Felamu', (Fighter Elf, And Magic User). My best friend had virtually identical wizards, one after the other, Triborb I through VII, although a few of them in the middle varied a bit in race, etc, because I remember TBRVI was an elf fighter/mu.This was pretty universal play too. I played with at least 3 different tables in Dayton, Ohio (Beavercreek); the scout troop, my family, and some of my school friends. Then we played for a couple years in dozens of games at The Bunker (it had various names) in Copperas Cove TX (right outside Fort Hood) where tons of Army kids played (it was a club with maybe 2-3 hundred members). Forrest Brown from Martian Metals, and some of the Metagaming guys from Austin would show up and playtest stuff. It was all hack & slash. You'd run into a GM now and then that would aspire to something more, but it rarely lasted long. I played a lot at college in Missouri (Tarkio, really the boonies but we had a couple games going when I was there in the early 80's). Played a lot in games in Vermont, I have quite a few different groups of players there I've run stuff for. After college, that was when we really aspired to something more than H&S dungeon play really. That was about the time OA came out, which is definitely at least D&D's first attempt to relate characters to something besides a dungeon maze.</blockquote>
