[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1746474, member: 1288"] Basic and 1E AD&D had a feel of wonder and excitement for me that nothing since has been able to match. That said, I can recognize that much if not all of this comes from the fact that I was a kid, with these brand new games, and the imagination that even the most imaginative of us as adults cannot match. I think that 3E is a better game, mechanically. It feels a little more tactical to me--not always a plus--but that's easily worked around. It also feels a bit more cinematic and "out there." I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss aspects of the old versions, particularly the simplicity (which I think can be recaptured) and the true sense of wonder (which I think probably can't, since it had to do with where I was, not the game). But ultimately, I like where we are far more than I miss where we were. (That said, I wouldn't mind a quick game of Basic D&D now and then, just as a change of pace, if anyone else in my group was interested. ;)) [/QUOTE]
