I was never smart enough to run ad&d. I ran Basic and Expert d&d and did not like companion and Masters rules. Gygax is the man and I love taking out tons of stuff from the ad&d DMG but his writing style in my opinion is really weird or maybe I have dyslexia, maybe its layout I don't know. I use C&C now and just add from the different editions the stuff I like. Right now I just like how the old modules are written ( I like the Game Mastery stuff too). Cool info and thanks for replying
