[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 9650524, member: 83242"] I think that may be true for some; however, it was not the case for me and my group. I loved 4e, it was the edition that brought me back to D&D. However, we continued to play 4e much like how we played our version of 1e/BECMI before that. And then I taught my children to play D&D with 4e and I taught them to play much like how my grouped played from 1e-4e. I think it comes down to how much your try to follow the rules nd how much you understood them! When we learned to play 1e we didn't really understand the difference between it in BECMI and a lot of the rules just didn't make sense to us. We had the 1e PHB, DMG, MM 1 & 2 and all the BECMI boxes and just sort of mashed them together and filled in the gaps as needed. We played by feeling our way in the dark! That to me will always be the spirit of D&D, so I guess I naturally do the same thing whatever edition I play! [/QUOTE]
