You probably know as much about the “secrets of D&D” (new post coming down) as I do.<br /><br />“Dirty Millennials”…heh-heh. Don’t take it personally, kid. Sometimes I come across as an asshole. Don’t you remember Whitney Houston singing about YOUR generation being the future? If any of us judge others (or ourselves!) for being born in the wrong time period, they’re being a ridiculous asshole IMO (yes, I am including myself in the category). A person’s dharma is to live the life they’ve been given at the time it’s given to do so. A person can consider, analyze, or use the past for lessons and inspiration, but should not let the fact that they’re in the present stop them from doing things in the present.<br /><br />(hmm…maybe a bit too philosophical for Friday morning)<br /><br />ANYway…as I post stuff on my B/X Companion idea, I’d greatly appreciate your feedback, Rob. I’m not sure there’s all that much “long term experience” people bopping around the ‘nets right now.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-19282782055224738352009-07-24T07:55:29.212-07:002009-07-24T07:55:29.212-07:00Yeah. I started gaming even later than you did (I ...Yeah. I started gaming even later than you did (I was born in '84, and slung my first die at age 9 in '91-'92 or so), but I had the good fortune to learn to play at my dad's table. He had run AD&D in the same gameworld since his college days in the very early 80's - Many parts of it were actually older than I was. I played through two characters in that world, with a total of about 4 million EXP to their names. Good times.<br /><br />I may be one of those dirty Millennials, but I got so used to playing in that style that it still kind of depresses me when other campaigns end after a few short weeks or months. And I still have never seen another game with that sheer wealth of *detail*.<br /><br />RE: Turns, I agree...mostly. DMs still have some uses for them, like wandering monster checks and basic timekeeping. But players? Once you make your first Continual Light Rock, the only thing you really use turns for are a couple of spell durations. And (in AD&D) casting times for the really sweet spells.
