My own reaction to 4E has been to fall back to older editions. I like the idea of simplicity that was behind the 4E design but I'm not a fan of the execution. So, I decided to fall back on the simpler days of my youth. I'm going to run a game with an older edition.One problem - I don't know whether to run 1E or 2E! I personally started playing AD&D literally with the invention of 2E (1989). Yet, I've always owned the 1E books and found them fascinating. Then, of course, there is the additional allure of the fact that 1E is pure Gygax and the true origin of AD&D. Still, nostalgia is hard to overcome and I find myself returning to my shelves and shelves of 2E books time and again.Which leads me to my question. If you were going to return to older AD&D and DM a campaign, which rules set do you think hs ultimately best stood the test of time? Would you go with 1E or 2E? This curious mind wants to know!</blockquote>
