Message: <blockquote data-quote="Numion" data-source="post: 2617101" data-attributes="member: 124">Golden age of D&D for me was from 2000-2002, maybe. I did play AD&D first edition when I was 12 or 13 in the early 1990s, and while I have fond memories, I also remember the fights. Not the fights in the game, but between players. We were constantly arguing rules, the DM was a bit difficult, didn't have a good group most of the time etc ..We actually played more in 2001 than 1991, even though we had gone from 12 year olds to 22 year olds. Nowadays it isn't that good game-wise. We are mostly graduated, we have jobs, some have kids, etc .. no time to game. The change in our lives has been quite drastic in the past few years. Now was it really worth it to go from poor student with lots of time to MSc with little time and the ability to buy all kinds of crap you don't need? Obviously the answer has to be yes .. but still .. I miss my friggin' game here!  :\  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> As for the specific issues raised in this thread - um, no. Maybe I was too young to appreciate the art back then, but I think that todays books are much better in that department. The old art has nothing on the stuff that was in the early 3E Dungeon magazines, for example, like isse #84 with The Harrowing. Thats just my opinion, but the B&W scribblings of old just don't match up.</blockquote>
