[QUOTE="Monayuris, post: 7362635, member: 6859536"] [b]What makes a D&D game have a 1E feel?[/b] For me, it is: Less focus on mechanics. Your choices and your roleplaying are more impactful than then the modifiers on a die roll. That you can succeed at a task by describing what you are doing or how you are approaching a problem without needing a die roll. Characters are an avatar for you to explore a fantasy world more so than a full persona. An attitude of ‘dice fall where they may’ and an acceptance that not all encounters / traps / environments are fair or balanced. Save or die poison exists, accept it and move on. Greater sense of lethality. You can lose your character if you make a poor choice. I agree: gold for XP is a huge part of the feel. Class specific character sheets. Character sheets that include a ‘Last Will and Testament’ The stronghold / domain end game. [/QUOTE]
