May 27, 2008 10:45:21 Nah, 1st or 2nd would be the best. Gauntlet was very simple, all you had to do was swing your sword, shoot your bow, throw your ace, or cast your spells. There was nothing fancy to do but stand their, toe to toe with the enemy, and slug it out.

True but, the wizard has infinate magic-missle, minions die in one hit, and you can achieve levels beyond 20. That was my thinking on it anyway.

May 29, 2008 9:03:10 Yeah, I don't think I would want to run Gauntlet as a D&D game. D&D Minis, maybe, but not a straight D&D game... not without some adjustments to the core of the Gauntlet universe, at any rate.

One dimensional characters.
All miniatures combat.

More like 4.0 to me. Except maybe the D&D Cyclopedia.
