Re: [CandC_Society] Speed of play in retro gaming

The rules were simpler we are more comfortable in changing things in
them then in the new monster sized systems that are published and in
the end, they still play a whole lot faster in combat than most new
games do.

I go retro cause it is simpler and after being with those systems for
years and after so many house rules it feels easier than grabbing D&D
4th edition core books and starting with them.

As for new gamers, I do not notice any change in their behavior
compared to mine back in the age they had.

I'd agree heartily here! I think we'd have a lot more encounters and combats if there wasn't so much of our time spent gabbing about Watchmen or boardgames...

My two cents:   I had a similar experience when we recently played Steading of the Hill Giants with the old AD&D rules.  There wasn't much roleplay, but we...
