MadMAxJr (3:51:46 PM): Scrooge was a terrible DM. He liked high level encoutners, but never gave any treasure.
MadMAxJr (3:52:29 PM): He was to be visited by three Ghosts of D&D, 1st, 2nd, and the 3/3.5 conjoined ghost twins.
MadMAxJr (3:54:20 PM): After a visit with the 1st ghost, both the Ghost and Scrooge came to agree that the game had some serious issues back then, and god did they actually wear that in the 70s? Ugh.
MadMAxJr (3:55:36 PM): The ghost of 2nd introduced the plague of DMs who felt battlemats were irrelevant and entire sessions could be done with purely descriptive combat, leading to utter confusion. Also what the fuck was up with racial level limits and rogues getting XP for every gold touched? Wizards got XP for CASTING? Guess what they did with leftover spells at the end of the day. And then the ghost sighs and teaches scrooge nothing telling him to go on.
kazztawdal (3:56:03 PM): Really they were making things worse
MadMAxJr (3:56:07 PM): The 3/3.5 twins constantly argue with one another about what triggers an attack of opportunity, but they were crushed under the weight of their own splatbooks.
MadMAxJr (3:56:24 PM): In the end, scrooge learns nothing of value, and continues to be a bad DM.
