I forget the actual order, but I think I might have played a game of Melee/Wizard just before I played in my first D&D session. They were within two weeks of each other, in any case.
You're right about the experience system, though ... in TFT,
all experienced characters eventually become the same as they each get above 20 in the three major stats and each end up with the same basic set of skills.
A final note for casual TFT collectors: many sellers seem unaware of just which items came with counters and which didn't. All editions of Melee and Wizard, for example, had a countersheet; on the other hand, none of the "Advanced" series products came with any counters. Some of the MicroQuests also did not have countersheets ... it can get a little confusing, so buyer beware.
