Bah. I prefer 1st edition. This is far too complex. Where is the role-playing? And needing two tables? That’s power-gaming gone mad!
Yeah, 1st edition was a lot simpler with just the one table. Playtesters found some bugs in the system though so a new version was warranted. If ADfD is to survive it has to continue to improve with the times.
I made level 5 before I got killed by a troll. How far can you get?
Dang! First adventure – killed by an orc. I think I’ll give the game break – maybe come back for 3rd edition in a few years…
