AD&D an introduction

[LibraryOgre]

I've just noticed a fair number of players who use 3.x are power gamers who seek to exploit the system and rely more on the combat ability of their character than the personality therein.

Were you around for 2e? They existed then, too. I prefer 2e in many ways, though, as I've said several times, E6 fixes many of my problems with 3.x.
