[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6930253, member: 15700"] Personally, I think the majority were bought by players wanting to make sure they had copies of all the versions at the time. And as a matter of fact, I did go back and buy them. I started with Moldvay's Basic set, which then quickly progressed into a mashup of AD&D with basic (since they were interchangeable). When Mentzer came out out, I bought those too, despite being an "advanced" player, and continued to play basic only version of D&D. Sometimes I wanted the tables and charts of 1e, and sometimes I wanted the simplicity of Basic. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Oh, I know what "advanced" means. But you didn't use it in any way that makes sense. I think you were looking for "experienced". Those are two totally different things, and the version a person plays doesn't make them any more advanced than anyone else playing a different version. This isn't like school; you're not graded on your D&D performance. Just because 1e had "Advanced" on the title doesn't mean the [i]players[/i] were any more advanced than anyone else. Then again, I don't know. Maybe you [i]were[/i] one of those types who went around thinking you were superior to the people who preferred to play B/X just because you had the AD&D books... After all, you did recently try to claim you won an internet argument... [/QUOTE]
