In barcelona zoo they have a labyrinth pit full of komodo monitors.

2nd ed A DnD count as proper? Wish i still did play. I read about modern dnd these days about the net and somehow despite all the diversity it doesn’t seem so adventurous.

Like now you gotta live within the wide parameters of a fixed world, rather than creating an unlimited world from a taster range of start points.

Yeah, I played AD&D when I was a kid in the 90's. Then a good bit of 3e and some of what became Pathfinder as a young adult. Then I skipped some years.

During the lockdowns I made the effort to get back into it, by this time 5e was out. Played for a good year with a guy out of Colombia and some random redditors. That fell apart when the Colombian guy got a job and had to move to Estonia. We did that whole Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign.

Why, you wanna start a game by post here in the forums?

If I played real dnd I would be a gnome Cleric/Thief

And I would brew invisibility potions and illusion potions and stuff so I could infiltrate a Kobold stronghold.

Was 3e when they got rid of THAC0? Because I played whichever version had it and not the one after. It was almost 30 years ago.

Tried to get my nephew into it and only recently has he showed interest, because of Stranger Things.

Yeah 3e thaco died and near infinite scaling became a thing. Three E was a direct result of digital gaming. 2e was born in an analogue erra of real dice. And efficiency and ease of access where not its primary purpose.

Playing by post would take a very long time, me thinks. Also, somebody would shit post it to death.

There are websites dedicated to play by post. I've done it before, and it can be a lot of fun. You have to have a good set of players though who check in at least daily.
