It's been so long since I've played D&D, I've forgotten how many sides a d20 has! I just expect 4th ed. to be as bad as 2nd and 3rd. Back when Gary Gygax was running the show, D&D was nice and wierd. I still like the AD&D rulebooks. After the franchise was stolen out from under Gygax, D&D descended to the lowest common denominator. If I ever play again, I'll unpack the old books.
This thread is going off track fast!
