[QUOTE="MonsterMash, post: 1746509, member: 12974"] Well to beat Diaglo to it ;) OD&D(1974) is the only game. Everything else is a pale imitation Actually with the OD&D rules the feel was very open, lots of scope to do what you wanted without having to work through mountains of rules. As the rules structure was loose you could create your own rules to fit your group and your world (not that house rules, etc are impossible now, but then it was more a case of create rules to do it, rather than I don't like the rules for x so I'll change them with 3e). What else - imagination running wild, being able to mix fantasy with SF with just about anything else you wanted. In terms of authors its Edgar Rice Burrough's Barsoom, Conan, Jack Vance's Dying Earth, and Tolkien all mixed up and baked together for that special fantasy goodness. [/QUOTE]
