I haven't played AD&D (ahem, D&D?) since the late 80's. My oldest son (age 12) and I were in BAM the other day and I caught him in the RPG section!
He was/is interested in playing D&D and I thought I'd be his DM. But, WHAT HAPPENED in the last 15 years? What did I miss? No AD&D? Version 3? 3.5? Countless rule changes? I need a kind sole to guide me through the darkness.
What Game setting do you recommend for a 12 year old and his 34 year old father? Is Greyhawke the same? Forgotton Realms had just been released when I discovered Beer and Differential Equasions. What is Dragonlance?
I guess the best way to re-learn the game is to get the new PH and DM's Guide. Is there still a MM? What's is called? I saw a cool guide on Fighter classes, is there a "cool guide" for Magic Users, Thieves and Clerics?
Help an old "Hacknslasher"
