[QUOTE="ghul, post: 3062228, member: 29901"] Respectfully, I must disagree with your statement, having found the 3.5 game to be antithetical and counterintuitive to running a game that has "1st edition feel." I feel this way, because I have tried such and consequently reached this conclusion after five years, and I am, for what it's worth, a DM of 26 years experience. And while I applaud the efforts of Necromancer and Goodman Games, I believe their works are somewhat hindered by 3e mechanics and, if translated to 1e, 2e, or C&C, would make for better gaming -- IMHO, of course. I must also disagree with your blanket assesment (rather, pretense) of 1e feel being "...willingness of the DM to play fast and loose with the rules of the game and the rules of logic." While I would not disparage those who run 3.x editon games (again, I did so myself for five years), I do feel that in answer to the OP, options outside of that system should be considered if seeking to "..capture that old 1e AD&D feel." Personally, I left the 3.x game about a year ago and have since been running a hybrid of C&C and AD&D 1e. I am having fun running it, my group is having fun playing it. It is a brief escape once per week from the RL. Cheers! --Ghul [/QUOTE]
