You mean there are no winners and losers?

Post by Dagger »

I got back into role-playing a year ago after being away from it since the mid-90's. The reason I got back into it was my wife bought me the 30 Years of Adventure book by WOTC that highlights the history of D&D. I read the book and it got the old juices flowing. All the excitement and wonder was coming back to me and I ran out and bought all the D&D books I could find. It took me about 6 months to figure out that the current incarnation of D&D blows. Not long after that, I found C&C and LA, and I'm finally playing the kinds of games I remember from high school.

Sorry to be nostalgic, but tonight I was looking through my 1st edition AD&D collection and wondering why the game I loved so much back then sucks so bad today. It really makes me appreciate C&C and the people that have kept that style of gaming alive. I feel lucky to have found this stuff!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I (and several others) was first contacted by TLG on dragonsfoot.org (home of 1E AD&D) with the idea to create a modern game that captures that spirit of yore. IMO, they did it and I couldn't be happier.

I feel ya bro. Oh wait, that is the new way to talk (maybe). I'll stick with good old American English. Just like my RPGs... the old fashioned way.

Love the thread title! That was one of the first questions my kids put to me when I was teaching them C&C.

Here's hoping my 1st ed. DMG arrives today... (just reacquired off ebay).
