I have NOT read through the rest of the thread, I have NEVER played pre-3e before, and I do believe I'll LOVE this.
Anything special I should know?

This isn't OD&D, he's probably not interested.
Welcome, PolterGhost! Everything looks to be in order.

I'm in. I'll be making a character and will post soon. Two cleric-types and a fighter/mage... that leaves openings for a fully fighter-type, a fully magic-user type, and a thief...
I had invisible castle roll 3d6 thirty-six times in a row, set them into six sets for each of Str, Int, Wis, Dex, Con, Cha and got these numbers:
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2858257/
Str: 14
3d6 → [2,4,4] = (10)
3d6 → [5,4,5] = (14)
3d6 → [2,2,4] = (8)
3d6 → [1,5,1] = (7)
3d6 → [3,1,1] = (5)
3d6 → [2,3,4] = (9)
Int: 12
3d6 → [3,3,6] = (12)
3d6 → [3,2,1] = (6)
3d6 → [1,3,4] = (8)
3d6 → [4,4,3] = (11)
3d6 → [4,1,1] = (6)
3d6 → [2,3,2] = (7)
Wis: 14
3d6 → [3,5,5] = (13)
3d6 → [2,2,2] = (6)
3d6 → [3,3,3] = (9)
3d6 → [3,4,2] = (9)
3d6 → [5,6,3] = (14)
3d6 → [2,4,6] = (12)
Dex: 14
3d6 → [4,5,4] = (13)
3d6 → [4,5,5] = (14)
3d6 → [3,4,6] = (13)
3d6 → [6,2,6] = (14)
3d6 → [2,2,1] = (5)
3d6 → [4,1,5] = (10)
Con: 14
3d6 → [4,4,2] = (10)
3d6 → [1,5,4] = (10)
3d6 → [1,3,6] = (10)
3d6 → [6,4,4] = (14)
3d6 → [2,1,4] = (7)
3d6 → [5,5,1] = (11)
Cha: 11
3d6 → [2,4,1] = (7)
3d6 → [2,4,5] = (11)
3d6 → [2,3,2] = (7)
3d6 → [3,2,3] = (8)
3d6 → [4,2,3] = (9)
3d6 → [3,2,4] = (9)
Str 14, Int 12, Wis 14, Dex 14, Con 14, Cha 11. I would be a decent cleric, but we already have one and a druid. I would also be an ok thief. I missed out on being a ranger by one point of Int. I was hoping for a magic-user as I wanted to base one after an element as suggested in the Color of Magic article.
Going with a Dwarven Fighter, so the stats should now be as follows:
Str 14, Int 12, Wis 14, Dex 14, Con 15, Cha 10
Character will be named Sgt Stubbs Silverhammer, an odd dwarf who left home at his young age to join the humans fighting on their borders because he grew up dreaming about riding with a lance on horseback. Poor Corporal Silverhammer wants to become a knight or a paladin, not understanding the biases of both his own dwarves and of humans. He worked for the militia along the human borderlands, and impressed the humans he worked for enough to reach the rank of sergeant and earn some significant pay that he worked hard to save. The money purchased his equipment once his term of 3 years of service in the militia expired. He insists on keeping his rank, as he believes that titles are important to men.
Will purchase some items and finish up his racial advantages and post a complete character sheet soon.

Does studded leather count as "non-metal armor" for an elf? Because I like the surprise bonuses, but I like AC even more. I'm not sure which is more worthy.

PolterGhost: Sorry if this confuses you, but I mistakenly was on your post when I tried to leave that message on another thread. Once again, I am sorry.
There is nothing wrong with your post.

Considering that you also have to be "alone", trust me, like the AC more.
But I'd allow studded leather to count. The studs do not rub on each other nor do they articulate.
