I certainly never played a game of D&D that was at all reminiscent of classic play until about a year ago (I started playing in 1997 when I was 13). Like I hinted at in my post above I think there's been gradual movement away from supporting this play style since the advent of AD&D 2e (although the Dragonlance series probably had a hand in it). The difference this time is that WotC isn't making token gestures towards the old school and sim crowds. They're fixing issues that the old school players consider features and designing a game that fits more with modern sensibilities. They are not holding anything back (basically showing old school gamers the door).</p></blockquote><p></p>
