To the tune of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
(With apologies to Deep Blue Something)
You say we've got no games in common
No D&D to start from
The group's falling apart
You say that WotC’s come between us
Edition Wars between us
There's no love left to share
CHORUS:
And I said "What about Moldvay/Cook Basic?"
She said "I think I remember the boxed set
As I recall, I think we both kinda liked it"
And I said "Well, that's the one thing we've got"
I see your love of 3 and 4e
You’ve moved on from OD&D
The old play seems all gone
So what now? It's plain the game is over
I hate when games are over
With the campaign left undone
CHORUS:
Then I said "What about Moldvay/Cook Basic?"
She said "I think I remember the boxed set
As I recall, I think we both kinda liked it"
And I said "Well, that's the one thing we've got"
You say we've got no games in common
No D&D to start from
The group's falling apart
You say that WotC’s come between us
Edition Wars between us
There's no love left to share
...the muse struck me. What can I say?
