Hairfoot said:How does it work? I thought you can't play something like a hobbit thief or dwarf cleric in OD&D.
Also, can anyone direct to a webpage which describes the differences between 1E editions (B/X, BECMI, Holmes, Moldvay, Mentzer etc.)?
I recommend any and every gamer with an interest in such things the following:

It's all of 6 bucks, and is an immersion into the very roots of the hobby.
In a nutshell:
--four races (humans, dwarves, elves, and hobbits)
--three classes (cleric, fighting man, and magic-user)
--no spells over 6th level
--everybody got d6's for hit points
--NO MAGIC MISSILE!
There are lots of other differences, but that's a few of the highlights.
