[QUOTE="TheHand, post: 9768657, member: 88835"] Yes I played it in the day, and while I still go back and read some of the materials and even adapt some of the old adventures, I’ve never played it since. AD&D 1e was like being on the frontier in the Wild West; it was new, it was a little forbidden (at least by some Moms), and paradoxically there were lots of rules and almost no rules. No two tables I gamed with played it the same, and I ended up with my own huge collection of house rules printed out on Dot Matrix and Dragon articles I liked (all neatly hole punched in a big binder). 2e did a lot to create a more consistent experience, but for myself and many others it was hard giving up all the (now obsolete) house rules and quirks of 1e. My group ended up playing it much less and started switching to other game engines - even going so far as to play in D&D settings without using D&D rules (using a modified BRP engine to play Darksun really brings out the grit and desperation!)
