I figure, if you can say "I've been playing longer than you've been alive," you can be Old School, so 15-20 years is an appropriate time frame.Higgipediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898074416237354260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-1525800696282186242012-01-15T00:08:32.580-06:002012-01-15T00:08:32.580-06:00I'm mystified.

I think some people feel that way because they played so much 2nd ed ... it did have a damn long run.The Lord of Excesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844701226225155792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-14924231697545361862012-01-14T22:17:57.506-06:002012-01-14T22:17:57.506-06:00I've been playing D&D since 1976, so I'...I've been playing D&D since 1976, so I've got polyhedrons older than some of you.<br /><br />Trust me on this: just because you're "old" doesn't make you any brighter than anyone else.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549956956651247099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-74753172527593385462012-01-14T21:16:25.630-06:002012-01-14T21:16:25.630-06:00*raises his hand*
