What about those of us who pretend there was only 1 edition of AD&D, the first? :) Only modified by a few house rules and a couple year's worth of Dragon mags.

Maybe it was just my group, but it seemed like the rules were changed all the time by the DM. I doubt anyone will have exactly the same experience from PnP DD so that will be something this game will be fighting constantly throughout.

Preach on, brotha. If it doesn't say Gygax, it ain't D&D. |

I had the Dieties and Demigods with the Cthulu and Lankhmar stuff back when I was 14ish. I lost it long before I learned it was valuable.

I recently sold my smallish collection of DRAGONs (issues #71-142 with some large gaps post #125) for a grand total of about $25 on eBay. Yay me. Clutter reduced!

I consider the few Dragons I have left "good" clutter.
About ten years ago I scored all the rulebooks at a comic shop, the kid's mom was selling them. I felt so bad...but not bad enough to buy them at half the original retail price, especially as they are all in mint condition, mine are beat to shit. Some 2nd printings (orange spines), but lots of originals, too.
I heart my original Dieties and Demigods with the copyright infringement material intact.

I have a bunch of modules, but my prized possesions that I constantly fight my wife to keep are:
All original 1980:
Player's Handbook
Dungeon Master's Guide
Monster Manual
Monster Manual II
Dieties and Demigods
Fiend Folio
My most prized modules were Ravenloft (Original) and Tomb of Horrors. I have some of the other original Gygax and others too. Some tournament modules that were popular.
I did sell the Ravenloft one to a guy 15 years ago. He was all goth and came to the Babbages I worked at in my youth. When I mentioned I had it, he freaked.

I can smell the desperation for a good MMG through my monitor. Last time this game came up we all spent 3 pages of the thread debating the merits of their version of the spell system.

For old style D&D feel Troll Lord Games' Castles and Crusades is THE choice. Take the streamlined concepts of basic D&D and D20, and mix them with the classes and feels of AD&D with Unearthed Arcana. 20 bucks for the PHB, and the only other book needed is Monsters and Treasure. The upcoming Keeper's Guide is nothing but optional rules.
Hell, Gary Gygax not only approves of it, he is doing a 7 book series on Castle Greyhawk (now called Castle Zagyg for copyright reasons.) for it.
Ive run it a bit. I like it, and so do my players. If you don't like all the crap AD&D and D20 D&D have but like the massed class & race options from them mixed with the simplicity of basic D&D, it pretty much does it.

I'm looking forward to the game and for those of you pining for first addition. Nostalgia is blinding you boys. I've played all editions up to the current and you couldn't pay me enough to go back to first, or god help me, second edition.

I agree totally. I love 3.5. It's so much more clear and fun. AND FAIR.
But Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

Heh, amusingly enough i'm writing a 3.5 campaign at this very moment.
Who actually got into the test? Can we get a rough impression as to how twitchy they've made it vs. how much actual d&d stuff is in?

Really, the rules were just secondary. I like first ed because I know them. My campaigns were always more about the roleplaying than the mechanics. I don't even have the 3.5 rules, I refuse to buy new books when I shelled out for the 3rd ed books. There should be a trade-in policy or something. I'm perusing them now, though (my 3rd ed books, just the 3 core books).
And Cal: you dirty tease, you. I've got some shadows to be hiding in, let's get crackin'!
