[QUOTE="Pants, post: 1399368, member: 8849"] What I miss? The newness. Back when I feared goblins. Back when I didn't know what in hell a 'Bugbear' was. Back when I didn't have the AC and HP of most monsters memorized. Back when I wasn't the 'default' DM and playing the drunken human fighter with a pentient for boorishness was the pinnacle for roleplaying. I also miss the monster 'Ecologies' in the MM. Basically, I don't miss any rules related stuff nor much of anything from the old editions. The way that I see it, most of the stuff that people miss is just nostalgia kicking them in the groin. I started playing in 2nd Edition and when I look back at all the 1st edition (and some 2nd edition) art and I compare it to 3rd edition's art, I realized something. EVERY edition has bad art. The 2nd Edition Monstrous Manual had some real bad doozies. The 1st Edition Fiend Folio was utter dreck in the art department. Savage Species and Races of Faerun have some pretty vomit inducing stuff as well. Basically, I think most people miss the excitement of playing something that was [i]new[/i]. I know I do. [/QUOTE]
