[QUOTE="crazy_monkey1956, post: 3645556, member: 49514"] While in the Navy, I was looking for a temporary gaming group at Great Lakes Naval Station, Illinois while waiting to be transferred to my A-School. I found a group that played at the on-base rec center and brought in a 3.0 blind monk. The DM claimed that he ran "Original D&D as it was meant to be played," which, he explained, was played without rulebooks or even rules but was made up at the DMs whim during the session. The characters at the table covered several editions of D&D, a Rifts character (created with Rifts rules and all) and something else I was unfamiliar with. He explained a little of his world, which sounded interesting enough, and then went on to describe how each of our characters was involved in the quest. I had already cleared with him having a character born blind and adapted to it, with pearls resting in his otherwise empty eye-sockets. DM: The uber-high level knight offers to restore your character's sight if you go on this quest. Me: My character doesn't want his sight back. DM: Yes, he does. I got up at a decent stopping point, thanked him politely and left, citing incompatible gaming styles. [/QUOTE]
