[QUOTE="Spinachcat, post: 4806122, member: 37588"] 1) OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, Swords & Wizardry and Basic Fantasy are all free downloads so snag'em and read'em. Personally, my favorite is S&W because the game is boiled down to its raw elements and there is SO much freedom to houserule and develop my own "advanced" version of the game. I just ran Swords & Wizardry over the weekend and everyone had a blast. 2) Castles & Crusades is very well done. If a group wanted me to run AD&D for them, I would run C&C and use my old AD&D stuff for campaign stuff. For me, it's what I wanted in a third edition of AD&D with a few bumps that I have houseruled into obedience. 3) I highly recommend downloading [B]Mazes & Minotaurs[/B]. It's a retro-reimagining instead of a clone. It's free and has tremendous amount of game support that is also free. Amazingly brilliant in so many ways. I ran it at the OrcCon convention in February and introduced it to 15 players over 3 events. Then at the Gamex con this past weekend, two people told me they started home campaigns!
