[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 3910601, member: 2072"] I started with Basic D&D back around 1979, then moved on to Expert, then Advanced D&D. When 2e came out, I took a look at the PH and decided to stick with 1e, which I did until 3e came along and inspired me to convert. I switched my current campaign, an undersea play-by-post, from pre-Wars 1e AD&D to post-Wars 3e D&D literally overnight. That was fun. I don't see that happening with 4e. A leap-grognard, says I. The other day, I was looking over my list of PCs... all 1e characters, as that was the last time I was actually a player, instead of DM. When I first played 4 PCs at one time: Cornalan, half-elf, male Mistanda, half-elf, female Solon, half-elf, male Twilyte, dryad, female A winged gray elf and her young barbarian ward: Heather, female Usala, female My highest level PC and his Lady: Serrus, human, male Mirada, elf, female A psionic F/M-U/T and his Lady: Wulf, elf, male Corinna, elf, female Albino drow mage/assassin (thank you UA): Jesaryth, drow, female - my first evil PC More UA madness, plus a half-ogre!: Eclipse, drow, male Krok, half-ogre, male Never played a gnome, let's make him a widower. Plus my first Paladin: Daerland, gnome, male Talsanan, half-elf, male A minotaur Ranger/M-U and a companion made just for her name: Rhebus, minotaur, male Medea, elf, female A wild elf: Daylyth, wild elf, male A sea elf with a suitably corny name: Aqualus, aquatic elf, male Enjoying a bit of oddness: Aura, atomie, female PCs from college: Thistle, halfling, female Wendover, halfling, male And of course: Gykon, juju zombie, male - - my second evil PC [/QUOTE]
