[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8503607, member: 7026594"] For the core books it's mostly just organization and presentation. The rules are identical to B/X (with the addition of ascending AC as an optional rule), but are laid out in really convenient single page or two-facing-pages format, where you virtually never have to flip multiple places to read the rules on a given concept. It's solid information design. The books have lovely new art and high production values. I do also like what they did with new classes in the Advanced Fantasy rules, retro-fitting additional options from other editions (like Half Elves, Half Orcs, Gnomes, Knights, Assassins, Acrobats, and Druids) into a B/X race-as-class format. As well as offering other rules from AD&D (like M-U & Elf spell acquisition other than just from gaining a level) in clear, simple form. If you prefer the original B/X art, PDFs are thankfully cheap as heck, but unfortunately those aren't sold print on demand yet, and used copies do tend to have some mileage on them. Thankfully they're common enough that prices for them aren't crazy yet. I picked up another copy of each book recently. [/QUOTE]
