I think it really is divided among two groups back then:1. wargamers who moved on to D&D, which seemed to use a lot more of those tables and rules because they were more familiar with them2. gamers like me who started after D&D came out, and saw all those tables as impediments to the speed of game play and fun, so we only used the rules we wanted and streamlined everything else that we could.</blockquote>
