    D&D 1E How about a little love for AD&D 1E

    As @Willie the Duck previously posted the 3 classes were previewed in Gary Gygax's From the Sorcerer's Scroll column Dragon Magazine in July of '82 plus January & April of '83. The cartoon premiered in September of '83. In Dragon #65, September '82, (2 months after the barbarian preview) Gygax...

    TSR Best Way to Replicate AD&D?

    If one really likes AD&D 1e, especially with Unearthed Arcana incorporated one should look up Adventures Dark and Deep. It has an optional skill system, a supplement for domain management/high level play, a Cthulhu supplement, and a Mythic China/Wuxia supplement. If one just wishes the new...

    I've had a few different paladin characters with Holy Avengers, but each time it was the result of specific quests, never as random treasure. Luckily I've had DMs that were willing to encourage me toward playing the "Knight in Shining Armor Astride a Barded Charger" to the "T".

    D&D 1E How about a little love for AD&D 1E

    I've had 2 separate paladin characters, one with a Rod of Lordly Might and another with a Helm of Brilliance. The Rod is the ultimate utility tool, a compass, depth gauge, hydraulic crowbar, folding ladder, in addition to 4 different magical weapon forms and the spell-like abilities. Helm of...

    D&D 1E How about a little love for AD&D 1E

    It's from the artifacts listings in the magical items section of the DMG, page 161, second column to be exact. It also has a somewhat different and more detailed description in the 2e Book of Artifacts, page 101.

    D&D 2E On AD&D 2E

    1e & 2e will explicitly say "bonus" or "penalty". When ever I hear someone say that descending AC & THAC0 are too difficult, I assume that the individual is horrible at math and they are unable to handle addition or subtraction with negative numbers. There were even character sheets that either...
