[QUOTE="Sebastian Francis, post: 2641521, member: 25370"] So my group is taking a break and there's this one guy who's die-hard 1e. I mean, he plays in our 3e group and enjoys it, but he's always going on about the "good old days" and "in my day we didn't have halfling paladins, we bitch-slapped halflings instead", etc. So finally we challenged him to put his money where his mouth is. Run some AD&D 1e for us, buddy. Show us how great it is. (FYI, most of us have played 2e, but only this one dude has played 1e.) Long story short: he made us pregen characters and gave each of us a copy of the 1e Player's Handbook to leaf through. Our first session was last week. All I can say is, "Cool!" It was a blast. I was surprised at how rules-lite the game is compared with the bloat of 3/3.5. Granted, it's a little weird to have a "Bend Bars/Lift Gates" stat but no skill system :p Still, it's a cool game. Really makes me think of Knights of the Dinner Table. One funny thing: in 3/3.5 whenever our group interacts with NPCs we simply shrug and say, "I'll make a Diplomacy check." In AD&D 1e the DM is making us (gasp) role-play. It's been cool, very cool. My question: do any of you play AD&D 1e and/or OD&D (ie Diaglo-edition ;) )? If not, would you be open to it? Just curious.
