Back in the mid-70s I don't think there were any consistent approaches at all. Everyone had barely an idea of what D&D was 'supposed' to be and just did 'something'. I don't recall if there's any mention of 'campaign time' in the LBBs or not, there may be, but hardly anyone paid much attention to what was in those books beyond grabbing some stats, charts, and the basics of chargen. Heck, campaigns of the sort EGG was running barely existed anyway in most places. Half the time we just played our characters in whatever game was happening that day. People IMHO way overestimate how much 'theory' there might have been, or concept of play, in early RPGs! It was just doing 'whatever', and you might do it one way on Tuesday and a different way on Thursday. (So I am not disagreeing with you, but I wouldn't say the video is accurate OR inaccurate, it is just mostly wildly far out in terms of proposing that you can actually SAY anything about '70s play, at least before '79).</blockquote>
