[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8801703, member: 11760"] Yeah, they don't do themselves a lot of favors in that regard. The ones that start with BASIC FANTASY are the BD&D line. You can either get this as one or two big corebooks or a set of smaller books so that only the spellcasters, for instance, have to look at those pages and everyone else can just have the booklets they need. (I'd get the big corebook, myself.) The ADVANCED FANTASY line takes the AD&D stuff from the PHB, MM, DMG and Unearthed Arcana book that isn't already present in BD&D and adds it all in, while tweaking the math to match Basic D&D. So it will work very similarly and if you're not someone who regularly looks at the AD&D books (or maybe hasn't for a few decades), it should feel the same as it ever was. But it's truly interoperable, instead of just mostly so, as everyone I knew jammed them together anyway back in the day. It's available in the same types of formats as the BASIC FANTASY line.
