Of the games I run at gamedays, 75% of the players are old-school AD&D'ers who enjoy the occasional run in the old system, and the majority of that other 25% are new to 1E but sat in on the session because they were recommended by an existing AD&D'er. NOTE: I do use the rules as presented in the original three books (minus some of the fiddly bits like weapon vs. AC), with some minor combat-rules fixes recommended by some knowledgeable Dragonsfoot posters, and don't use any of that fancy Unearthed Arcana stuff. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Up till the past couple of years, most of the people I've ever spoken to NEVER used the rules as presented in the DMG, and talking to Gary, he never used them most of the time, either, so I wanted to go all-out with my old-school and be as close as possible without bogging down the players in it. The system as-written is actually not that bad to run a smooth combat in, and it surprises me that more don't appreciate it.</blockquote>
