Something I thought was interesting. A series of videos involving making a fighter in every edition of D&D. It's sort of a well articulated history lesson in the evolution of D&D and a look at what past editions were like.

Nostalgic? Man, you are old..Twin Axes wrote:Fun and very nostalgic.
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

Re: History of D&D
Ehrm, while I am indeed old (seriously, I've never been this old before!), my first set was the Basic edition which I got around -82 or -83. But, the arbitrary whackiness and magic of early table top D&D...it was all there from the beginning. There are four videos where he goes through OD&D, the Greyhawk addendums, Basic D&D and AD&D. Makes me want to break out ye old thread bare red box again and just gaze through the mist of nostalgia.
