I've started many new players with this module and I have used the two prisoner thing. It works quite well actually.

Yep. You're the DM. You can easily do that.

You guys played 2e way differently than we did. No way a 1st-level fighter in 2e could kill a troll in one round. And a 1st-level party taking on a giant is suicide. We never really used weapon speeds in 1e or 2e, but initiative was never a problem area. Roll the dice. Modify. Done. We rather...

First appeared in EX2 Land Beyond the Magic Mirror I believe.

We do. Usually in situations such as: Player: [insert character's name] listens at the door. DM: (drops a large handful of dice behind the screen for effect). You don't hear anything.

Yep. And they've done a lot of cool stuff with the ToH monsters with their versions. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2

Yep. This.

First one I used was the Red Box, 1983, but quickly moved on to AD&D 1e.

No such thing my friend. Can never have too many monsters.

For the Creature Catalog? For Pathfinder? That would be cool. :)

Tome 4 feels that way too. We made sure of that. :)

Yep. Agreed on the retro thing. I'll be happy when they put a spot on the sheet for your Will "I _______ do hereby leave all possessions to ________ upon my death"

Yep. Exactly this.

Impressive. Several old school names on the list I see.

Yeah. What Jester said.

Yep. That's how we do it as well. Unless the PCs happen to be in town and there's an easy way to exit the character temporarily, someone else gets to play the PC or the PC becomes an NPC for the session.

We had several memorable "heroic death" moments in AD&D 1e with no play/rules options stated in the books per se. One of the more memorable ones was the party has retrieved an amulet and is assembling it on a special altar in an attempt to send an evil dragon back to the Abyss. Said dragon...

No clue honestly. Started playing and DMing in '83. We played every day over the summer of 84-85-86 when we were out of school and a couple of times each weekend during school. (Sometimes we even played before school sitting in the "commons" area waiting for the first bell to ring). Other times...

No right or wrong way to play, regardless of what peeps say :), but the checkpoints idea is not for me. Definitely not something I'd play in or introduce into my game. Takes away too much from the risk IMO.

Yeah. This. There were a lot of things about 2e I didn't care for, but I believe they got clerics and the way spheres worked (major/minor access) right. A priest of the God of Healing and Protection felt way different than a priest of the God of Death.
