[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8542898, member: 7026617"] You even got into some terminological wars on occasion back then who insisted that the offshoot games be called OD&D (and, notably, only [I]them[/I]). Of course some people either only knew one of the two or conflated them together (I'll admit to the latter, since I never played them I was only aware of the difference some years later, but these were people who avowedly played at least one). Its always hard for me to judge, as I got into D&D right after Greyhawk came out, and never played without it. It seemed to be pretty universally used by the West Coast D&D players I encountered at the time. Well, even at the time there was some progressive drop-off as supplements were added. You'd find more people using the SR classes than you would the Assassin or psionic material from the latter books (of course there were all kinds of custom psionic classes too, because a fair number of people seemed to prefer that to the random add-on that EW psionics was). I didn't hit a lot of people who ignored the paladin or the thief, though, or didn't use the Greyhawk monsters. The Bard being probably the biggest standout there. [/QUOTE]
