[QUOTE="TarionzCousin, post: 8098385, member: 31304"] I played a year-long campaign in 2E, several times a week for up to six hours per session. There were three of us total. The other player and I built custom classes from the DMG. He was a fighter/magic user with psionics and an 18/99 strength. I was a thief/cleric without any healing spells. We were both very overpowered compared to regular classes. We were also both playing characters with evil alignments; that was agreed upon with the DM before we ever rolled any dice. I remember ceramic pieces as currency, no metal armor or weapons. Nobody had a good AC. Survival rolls were brutal so we traveled mostly at night. Athas was full of weird monsters we had never seen before, and weird takes on regular races: cannibal halflings. Life was harsh. I think we played through forty or fifty sessions, gained maybe six levels--we started at third level, like the setting recommended. At the end of the campaign we might have had three magic items between us. Our campaign involved a great deal of traveling. We experienced several of the different cultures. Ultimately, we freed a greater devil in disguise, choosing to believe its promises of power. When we failed to help it succeed in regaining all of its former abilities it killed us and ate our souls. It was definitely different. I liked that. [/QUOTE]
