If you want to supplement your old school play, there's probably more available now than ever before in terms of 3pps.
Yeah, definitely: there's new 3rd party material out there for AD&D, OD&D, and Classic D&D, as well as more generic "traditional D&D" material that is basically compatible with all of the TSR editions. I really like the magazines (e.g. Knockspell). There are some good adventures out there, too (e.g. Pod Caverns of the Sinister Shroom). And Monsters of Myth is an excellent monster book for AD&D.

Sorry JRRNeiklot,

I didn't know there was substantial 3pp stuff prior to 3e, so I didn't include that option.

I'm a fan of the old school renaissance, but I'm just getting my feet wet. If you want to inform us all of what else might be out there, though, I don't think anyone would mind. I certainly would welcome learning more about other options (beyond what Korgoth and others have mentioned in this and the other thread about pre 3e 3pps.)

Thanks for commenting though!
 

My current D&D games don't fit the poll, but both have 3PP. Well, actually the 1e campaign doesn't specifically have third party supplements as far as I know, but uses rules compiled by the DM and and probably some material from other sources. I know that the B/X game that I run uses a lot of home brew material and stuff from Judge's Guild.

AD&D1e with (probably) 3PP
B/X D&D with 3PP
 

4e and no 3PP stuff for the players, though I may use some stuff if I find it enhances the game or scene. I generally shy away from 3PP material due to a lack of production value and balance issues.
