[QUOTE="Jan van Leyden, post: 6016879, member: 20307"] Well, the actual differences are small enough that you can easily use material including adventures using the other eition. The scaling remains the same, monster stat blocks - for fights at least - use a nearly identical format etc. pp. The selection of races and classes differs between editions, but no need to worry about that. 2nd edition changed from attack matrices to the THAC0 system, officialized the stat roll, and introduced non-weapon proficiencies. These were a proto skill system which relied on stat rolls as well; you would actually "buy" a non-weapon proficiency or not; you didn't increase or buy up the values because NWPs were a really rare ressource. The actual DL adventures were published using 1st edition rules, anyway. Or do you have the Silver Anniversary version, which came out in '99? For a good overview over all those retroclones, including links to the respective sites and the 2nd edition ones (For Gold & Glory, Myth & Magic) see [URL="http://www.retroroleplaying.com/content/retro-clones"]here[/URL].
