[QUOTE="JAMUMU, post: 8902230, member: 7035709"] Like many of you, I also started playing D&D in the early 1800s. I remember raiding a stately home to steal the first table we played around, smuggling barrels of dice into shady coves to avoid paying the King's Tax and kidnapping a literate clerk to read out the rules for us. I remember when the players had roles, like mapper, caller, and the guy who was the lookout in case Redcoats appeared. I remember D&D when if your character failed a saving throw against disease, the [I]player [/I]had to contract that disease too. Many of us didn't make it out, and those who did had terrible skin. And then the game changed, and changed again, and changed again, but it was always the game. It was the life. It was always D&D. What WotC might be proposing is to turn D&D into something that is no longer the game; something that's no longer D&D. Not to the scurvy grogs and dogs that sit around our table, anyway. [/QUOTE]
