I was reading another website that used to be good for D&D news now it is a propaganda machine for fourth edition. They had posted this as a joke(I guess). They made a list of why original D&D is the best.
Here are the top ten reasons why OD&D is the one true game, whilst all others are but pale imitations.
10. It smells better.
9. 3 paperback books are a lot easier to carry around than 15 hardback tomes.
8. No krazeee flying-kick halfling monk half-dragon warriors.
7. Once the magic-user has cast his spell, the player can go home.
6. People who pick pockets and locks are called thieves.
5. Nobody has ever heard of grappling rules - and don't notice the lack.
4. Ancient dragons have fewer hit points than a 1st level 4E character.
3. Arbitrary rules are just part of the mystery.
2. Graph paper.
1. Nobody ever made it into a computer game.
Kind of funny but a better list for 4th ed would look like this (I Think).
10. It's new and new is always better
9. No more need to go to the pesky bookstore or hobby store to meet people
8. you can play whatever half-race you want and to heck with world balance(I am waiting for a warlord half-beholder demon lord zombie)
7. no more need for mages/spell casters to think about spells and how to use them.
6. no more moral questions (Now my paladin can kill that puppy that was threating that kitten in the other room)
5. Now you can grapple that giant gelatinous cube
4. We will get rid of some types of dragons in the world but they may be in a rule book at some point.
3. All the rules will make total sense and there will never be a new rule book ever again (Yay!!!!)
2. No more will you have to spend 4 bucks on some paper you will now have to buy a $1000 laptop so you can take it to your friends.
1. why spend $15 a month on a computer game when we can take a roleplaying game that people already play and change it to the newest popular computer game.
I know this is a little late for April fools day but I couldn't let this pass with out throwing my two cents in.
