What I really enjoyed about reading Dragon back in the day was how Gygax, Kask and others would respond to the letters from gamers. You...

Judging by the letters section of Dragon magazine, I can only imagine what an internet forum would look like if it existed back in the...

The only F/T I saw were dwarves or 1/2 orcs because the multi-class rules were so punishing. Why would you be a halfing F/T when you...

You also can't overlook that it was 1e. The FIRST edition of AD&D. All the rest came after and built off of it. Just being the first...

I was never able to talk a DM into letting me use it. And when I DM'd I told my players no on that one as well. When you're used to...

I once got a 1e cleric to 5th level and had 40 hit points with no con bonus. Kept on rolling them 8s at the right time! The he...

My one viable 1st-to-5th level 1e Thief was only reasonably viable because 1) 18 Dex, 2) wearing no armor for the additional bonuses to...

I think a lot depended on how your table ran thieves. For example, take something like move silently. IIRC this is how we played it...

Me and my darts dispute that in a huff! :P
