I never said it was a bad thing. I still apply my own sound effects to books and games. I'm just amazed we have people here who played D&D the year it came out. The first real RPG I played was Rifts, published in 1991, and I didn't even know about it until 1998 or 99. How was D&D advertised or found for that matter, in those days?
At least I'm old enough to raise my glass and toast to another 30+ years of gaming for us all. La Chai'm!
