[QUOTE="Leif, post: 6038557, member: 48762"] Ahhh, a young lad! When I started gaming there was really only one game in town -- AD&D 1E. Oh, sure there were also Chivalry & Sorcery and Tunnels & Trolls, but they weren't too available in my town. We did play T&T some, but it was so inferior to D&D that the experiment didn't last long. Some longer experiments with Traveller, Space Opera, Top Secret, and I.C.E.'s Rolemaster basically convinced me that AD&D was about the only one worth messing with. Pathfinder is [i]almost[/i] just like 3.5, but not quite. You're in luck, though, because there is a system reference document online that you can access for free: [url]http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/[/url] Note that instead of "srd" it's called "prd" for Pathfinder Reference Document. Enjoy. Oh, and if you do decide to buy books, you can make a good show of it just using the Pathfinder RPG volume by itself, especially if you use the PRD to supplement the book. The Pfr RPG volume is almost like a PH and DMG combined, although there is a separate Pathfinder GM's Guide, too. And, of course, the PRD has everything so far, as far as I know. And you're correct -- I'm still miffed that I dropped vast amounts of coin and folding money on 4E only to see the entire edition scrapped two years later. :( Fool me once, shame on WotC. Fool me twice, shame on me. That's why I've largely reverted to 1E AD&D, as well as some 3.5E, some Pfr, and even maybe a smidge of 4E. I guess I have more Pathfinder games going n ow than anything else -- 4???? I've only got 2 games of 1E AD&D going, and I'm DMing both. I'd jump at the chance to play 1E AD&D, though.... [/QUOTE]
