“Huh? Level limits? Dwarves can’t be paladins (or whatever)? Asymmetrical class structure? No heroic feats and skills? That sounds bogus, dude.” Some people make an informed choice in this regard “I tried THAT version it didn’t work for me for reasons A, B, and C.” But a lot of people haven’t even tried it. There’s a way to play it that works wonderfully. Why is Mary venerated as much (or more than) Jesus in Mexican Catholics? Because the Spanish couldn’t stomp the mother goddess out of the indigenous religion when attempting to instill their patriarchal dominion.īut…as I said…D&D isn’t a religion or belief system. Saying “hey you should read the Bible and get Jesus in your heart” to someone whose culture isn’t built on the same understandings is nonsense. My religion was designed for my culture, adapted from multiple traditions of my (ancestral) culture and cemented over centuries. But I won’t tell someone their belief system (religion) “sucks.” That’s asinine.

I don’t know how to disabuse you of the notion, or I’d try.ĭ&D isn’t a religion. That possibility was all but excised in the presentation of BECMI. The original game may have accounted good stronger than evil, but evil (as a player choice) was still a possibility. It is staid and mechanical, less organic, and in an effort to be more "family friendly" (or less controversial) has lost some of its original character.and thus some of its potential game play. Played straight, BECMI D&D does not call to mind the fantasy literature or pulp fiction that inspired the original game instead, every player is on a quest for legendary power and (eventual) godhood. While it is designed as a "complete" line (taking player characters from level 1 all the way to immortality through discreet rule systems) it deviates far from the singular vision found in "true" version of the game. It became its own separate line of play, though again designed for simplicity, lacking the complexity, nuance, and interlocking of systems found in AD&D. BECMI (Mentzer) D&D: yet another revision of the introductory game not only was it written for an even younger audience (complete with solo tutorial adventures), but it was written in such a way as to NOT include monsters, spells, and content specifically designed/developed for Advanced D&D.
