I played AD&D and Basic with a lot of different groups and in my experience, the cliche of no two groups doing it quite the same was true. Even my own games, I had lots of house rules in notebooks and photocopied Dragon articles to tweak things to my taste. I had a Bard class that was heavily influenced by the Bard’s Tale crpgs, but I think no one actually played it, ha!I tried to incorporate weapon speeds and casting times, inspired when I saw how it worked in the computer game “Pool of Radiance”, but all my players hated it so it got scrapped.Somebody up thread asked how we rolled attributes, and with every group I gamed with it was pretty much the broken UA system, where you rolled like 9d6 for your primary ability and went down the chain. If you didn’t have at least one 18 you were considered cannon fodder.And though not my favorite rule set, 2nd edition AD&D had all my favorite settings books. I still use them in modern games for lore and ideas.</blockquote>
