[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 5663747, member: 3586"] This will be my first [i]campaign[/i] of AD&D 1st Edition as an adult, and it's informed by a lot of play since I first picked up the AD&D books (and the Basic set) in 1982 or thereabouts. Heck, it's going to be my 30th anniversary of D&D... I didn't realise that! :) The only ongoing game I can remember running of 1E was when I was at school, running my friends through the Dragonlance modules.
