[QUOTE="McFluff, post: 5301365, member: 70711"] First I want to thank everyone that has contributed to the thread! Now I've looked through most of the retro-clones that have been mentioned but that doesn't seem to be the direction that I want to go. My group and I are kind of looking forward to playing these old systems with their flaws in-tact and house rule them ourselves. You know... as our gaming for-fathers did. I've gone ahead and picked up a copy of the Rules Cyclopedia off of eBay. It was pricier than I was expecting but as well as being a complete rules set it seems like it will have a lot of tasty rules in it that I could use no matter what system I decide to use (even in my regular 4E game. I love tables!). Aside from that it looks like we are leaning towards running a 2E game. I've been sitting on a few 2E Dragonlance adventures (Knight's Sword and Flint's Axe) that I may end up running. Either way I look forward to putting away all the minis and dungeon tiles and sitting back and playing so old school DnD! Any further advice is still appreciated. [/QUOTE]
