Wow. So it really was a game about stealing and killing as much as possible. I mean, that's what they reward you for, amirite?
good question Moritz
Yes that is why you got xp for wealth. But I always found that if you set things up right your party should level up consistantly, and that is in all editions.Originally Posted by Moritz

It makes sense. Humanity was exactly the same...but we errrrr ummm evolved....kinda
Or did we just pretend to evolve ... is that really the game? I thought the hokey pokey was what it's all about

well we wear suits, drink super-ultra mocha/half caf latees, and talk on headsets....so we must have evolved! right???
All the newer editions have done what we have done....wore shinier clothing, had shiny new technology and gadgets, and BRAND NEW things, that are all to distract from our...ummm...primal urges...
and indeed the hokey pokey is still what it is all about
Yea, with my group a fairly normal progression was one level every 1 to 2 sessions in 3.5. With 4e, we level between 3 to 5 sessions.

Speaking as a historian, yes Panthro, we have indeed evolved. Not all of us at the same rate mind you, which is why we still tend to have wars, but all the same, humanity has progressed a long way. Of course, we still have far to go...It makes sense. Humanity was exactly the same...but we errrrr ummm evolved....kinda
Yea, the game has certainly expanded over the years. There is a lot more to the game now than killing critters and getting their stuff. We now have true oportunities for roleplay, all because those gamers who played stuff like 1e made the effort to include such things even when there weren't palpable rewards for it. Now we have 4e, with lots of shiny new things, including quest compleation exp for advancing the story.
And for those who want to give into their primal urges, we have the newly introduced primal power source!
Absoluetly! Just ask Londo.

yep you cant deny that the game wouldnt be around if people didnt play 1E. sure it didnt have what these editions have, but it paved the way and much like civilization it did cause a decent amount of evolution, but our primal urges will always be there to keep us in check. We will never be free of war and in D&D it is the same. Life would be honestly boring and there would be no advances in technology and evolution if not for war.
Yep, nothing like watching a Cobra pilot get blown across the road at a FARP (Forward Area Refueling Point), because he forgot to discharge the static electricity from the rotor blades before he turned the gas pump on.Had to deal with both of those extensively while I was in the Navy working on aircraft systems...... Good Luck
why does this make me think of a Beastie Boy's song?Wow. So it really was a game about stealing and killing as much as possible. I mean, that's what they reward you for, amirite?
It's as if there are people who play RPGs that don't have computers or something. Seriously, people need to upgrade to 1994 already. - - -TheRedRobedWizard
