(He is not with us anymore because of cancer) He had told us stories in the early 2000's of his first games being more like the type adventures in old school computers... they would be in the woods and go a direction and find things or be attacked or what ever... he said the first year he played he didn't think he played inside a dungeon OR a town for more then half an hour or so.  He AND the next oldest talking about 1e had very different stories.  to the point where (like now with 5e on here) it almost feels like they were not playing the same game.1 of them was 'training' with multi other party members and picking up class features while trying to juggle dungeons and politicking.the other was acting more like a war game building armies of hirelings and followers not 1 of those stories from either of those two ever had even a hint of 1 day=1day... BUT my buddy who learned from his uncle in the 80's told us second hand stories that were a mix between the other two.1997-98 was a big change for us as a group... new people came into the college game and as such our home games and we started going to cons... the entire style of game we played and an changed then and again in 2000 with 3e...</blockquote>
