[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7087761, member: 15700"] A few things. Pedantic, but if you're playing 1e, then you're avoiding THAC0 anyway ;) (1e used attack tables, and while the term THAC0 does appear in the 1e DMG, it wasn't a rule until 2e) Don't worry about spending your time learning Greyhawk lore. Most of those adventures are drag and drop anyway, and you don't really need to lore to play it. But the important thing so many players forget: [B]Not all monsters are meant to be fought[/B]. ToEE especially, it is highly encouraged that the players utilize politics to get the various warring factions to fight each other. And as others have mentioned, cut back the treasure by quite a bit if using 5e rules. It was there to get PCs up to level 8 by the end of it, and 1e used XP for treasure. 5e doesn't, and even if 5e didn't have bounded accuracy, you wouldn't need all that treasure. With BA just means you REALLY need to tone down a lot of the treasure. [/QUOTE]
