"The rules are only guidelines."Don't be afraid to change something you don't understand, or even add new things. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.Jump in and start playing with your group and see how the game works and what works for you with the rules and only use what you need to begin with. Make sure in any edition of D&D, that you are having fun with the rules.One thing you may wish to change is how NWPs work and how many you get. You may even want to remove "chance to learn a spell" or "chance of spell failure" while you learn to play and run the game and add them back later.I know there is a silly little boxed set called <a href="http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/dd1/firstquest.htm" target="_blank">Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Archive: First Quest</a> that may be helpful or at least a little bit funny to relax you into playing, but don't if you could get it online or not form anywhere, any how you would get the CD to use with it.1. Yes you can learn 2nd edition. it is the best thing to learn to play if you want to play 2nd edition. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />2. You learn to play faster by reading the books more, and playing more.3. That First Quest might help if you can find it.4. I gave basic advice above, but remind don't be afraid to make mistakes. DM's do it and so do players.5. I don't use Yahoo or other chat things.Good luck, and any more specific questions I will try my best to answer about 2nd edition.</blockquote>
