So yeah, pick one to start with, and go from there, if you feel like doing so. As far as clones go, and the originals for that matter, it may be best to go with the order in which the originals came out.So first go with Swords and Wizardry or the original boxed set with the "LBB's" (Little Brown Books),Then I would go with OSRIC or the 1E AD&D books. Then I would look at the boxed sets, ideally starting with the Basic boxed set that only covers the first 3 levels. Then go with the full boxed sets going up to Master and even deific levels. Then to see it all put together, check out the Rules Cyclopedia, or the Dark Dungeons clone of it.For 2E, check out the books, or it now has a clone, called "For Gold and Glory".After looking at Swords and Wizardry and OSRIC (if your even interested in looking at the clones) then check out Labyrinth Lord. I say this because then you should have a better idea of where what came from. If your not really worried about that kind of thing, then Look at LL before you look at OSRIC/1E AD&D. Including their "Advanced" book, but I don't remember if that one is free as a PDF. I think it is.Now if you have to buy originals, then fgo with 1E AD&D. Why? Because that is probably the closest to being a "Rosetta Stone" for all of the editions. Not that one is really needed. Like has been said, they are pretty interchangeable.</blockquote>
