[Scotley]

Assuming I go with the dwarf fighter/rogue concept, I can go heavy on the fighter if Scotley's elf is going to lean toward heavy on the rogue.

Did you post interest in a fighter/rogue dwarf? I totally missed it. Don't want to step on any toes. I'll be happy to lean fighter or rogue depending on what you want to play. An elf and a dwarf in the same group with similar skills might lead to some interesting role play...right up the point where they kill each other.

was it 2e or 1e?

ad&d?

ad&d?

That's what I thought, so 1e.

AD&D is 2E

D&D is 1E (2nd one being Advanced D&D)

Somewhere up above, but no big. I don't mind having similar yet different PCs.

With my dwarf concept, I mainly planned on adding a few levels of Rogue in with his fighter levels to reflect his seedy past. Plus, nothing like a bad-ass dwarf sneaking around all quietly and axing people from behind!

Not to be nitpicky, Neurotic, but both 1E and 2E were actually called AD&D.
Very early 1E was just D&D, but when the hardcover books were published the name officially became AD&D, and that remained the case until 3E was released.

I wouldn't argue with Leif, heck he was probably old when Gygax and Arneson released their initial rules set.

Oh, what am I doing here?

Hardly! I was a bright-eyed, fresh, and eager young boy of 13 when I first got wind of D&D. (1980) [over 30(!) freakin years ago!!!]

Leif is correct. Technically speaking, you have Advanced D&D (1978) and you have Advanced D&D 2nd Edition (1989), which would imply that the original AD&D is 1E.

This doesn't take into account the Basic/Expert/Companion/Immortal rules which most of us collectively referred to as Basic/Expert D&D. The Basic rules were released in 1977.

You also had Original D&D (OD&D) which came before any of these rules (1974).

Really, there have probably been like a dozen different versions of D&D if you want to get nitpicky.
