Is a more OD&D feel game the natural evolutionary endpoint? Is OD&D actually AD&D?

[QUOTE="joethelawyer, post: 4741166, member: 55764"] The 3 PC's are bards. They are in a band. A band with a decidedly "Metal" look and feel. :) They wear studded leather armor when performing, etc. I shouldn't have much trouble getting to do some risky fights or dungeon crawls once in a while. After all, If Mordenkainen, Robilar, the Grey Mouser and Conan come out of Castle Zagyg with a book describing a magic item like "Dirk Diggler's Ring of Enlarged Appendage" hidden somewhere on level 4, if they play true to the characters they have described to me, it ought to get them into the dungeon. At higher levels, I would imagine the penultimate quest would be to find the three most powerful magic items ever made for bards: Ringo's Drums of the Throbbing Beat Sinatra's Amulet of the Seductive Crooner and of course... Tenacious D's Pick of Orgasmic Ectasy They will desire these items as a means to increase their chances to pick up women, which is what all heavy metal band guys want anyhow. Once they get the women, they will of course have to roll their Performance:Sex checks to see how they perform. A roll of 1 means they either can't rise to the occasion, or the performance ends after 3 seconds. Afterwards, of course, they will have to roll a Fortitude Save vs. Venerial Disease, which a surprisingly high percentage of the population of women in Freeport have. At least the women they manage to seduce, that is. I have a particularly insidious list of types of VD to choose from. The penultmate bard instruments will also help them perform against their Nemesis Band: The Block brothers, whoe are a bunch of Kids, relatively speaking, named Jordan, Jonathan, Joey, Donny and Danny. They will somehow always get the best gigs, and the best women, and thus be a level or so higher than my players' band at all times. :) If while they are perfoming a concert in a bar the floor erupts underneath them, and a worm ridden by Fafhrd blasts into the room, with his sword buried in its back and him holding on for dear life, well, I guess they'll have to fight, huh? And then deal with that big hole leading straight into level 5 of Castle Zagyg that now exists. Lots of ideas are percolating. :) [/QUOTE]
