Message: <blockquote data-quote="pemerton" data-source="post: 6403122" data-attributes="member: 42582">The differences are no greater than between (say) Greyhawk AD&D (no Celestial Bureaucracy, no spirit sub-type for the purposes of spells and effects, no korobkuru, etc) and Oriental Adventures AD&D (no chromatic dragons, no classical elementals, no halflings, etc).Rather few monsters that exist across D&D and AD&D have different backgrounds/descriptions. In the context of B/X, the only one I can think of is the gnoll (that I already mentioned). What other ones do you have in mind?There are also relatively few monsters in Moldvay Basic that are not in AD&D: thouls, robber flies, living statues, maybe another small handflu.Are you seriously suggesting that Erol Otus would have drawn that kobold differently had the art order been for AD&D rather than Moldvay Basic? Or that the thousands, probably tens or hundreds of thousands of players who have played Keep on the Borderland (a Basic module) using AD&D rules, and treating the kobolds in that module the same as AD&D kobolds, have been getting the lore of the module wrong?What mistake are you accusing me of? Are you suggesting that I'm mistaken in my opinion about whether or not Planescape is a good setting for me to roleplay in?</blockquote>
