I looked into the Basic Fantasy RPG as well, and it looked like 3rd edition AC/attack rules with older edition everything else, which seems pretty cool. I have decided, though, that I'm not going to use 1st Edition for anything other than a source of monsters, and maybe an occasional class to throw in for fun. I really enjoy the old edition monster manuals, and 1st Edition has been pretty cool for that. I need to get my hands on the 2nd edition material that you guys have mentioned.At this point, I'm kind of saying screw 4th edition (no offence to everyone who likes it!) For me, D&D is about sitting in a cozy tavern along a dusty road that leads off into unknown wilderness. It's about trying to navigate moldy old dungeons, and the shock and surprise of what may lurk in the darkness. For me it's not about combat and balanced encounters or character builds, but instead is about mystery and atmosphere. That's what immerses me in the game, and immersion is what I'm going for. I think that these older editions of the game are exactly the kind of D&D I need.</blockquote>
