[QUOTE="eris404, post: 1787037, member: 5338"] I am surprised at the flood of memories this thread caused. I am female and I started playing D&D when I was about 11, or about 22 years ago. I ran a game in which my younger sister also played, until one day she got angry with me over something not related to gaming (I really can't remember what) and tore up her character sheet. She never played again and that was the last time I played 1E. I didn't play RPGs again until after I had graduated from high school and I didn't play D&D again until after I had graduated from college. By then 2E was in full swing. I have to admit I don't get the 1E nostaglia. It isn't gone. It's still there and you can still buy stuff, whether as ebooks or on eBay, some of it for very cheap. If you want to talk about it and play it, there are plenty of other people who do, too, as this thread shows. There are even web sites with homebrew material for 1E if someone wants more. I don't miss anything about 1E, because I still have all my old books. I can (and do) use the DMG for reference, because there were a lot of great lists of stuff (insanities, poisons, herbs, etc.). Almost everyone I game with has their old books, too (the exceptions being the people who just started playing recently). If my group wanted, we could easily pick them up and play, no problem. But if I miss anything, it's being able to spend that much time with my sister. She has three kids now and lives 200 miles away. The chances of a pick game with her are very, very slim. [/QUOTE]
