[QUOTE="Dragonbait, post: 5390359, member: 29182"] Compared to the "D&D is SERIOUS buisness" opinion of the books and adventures now, AD&D (both editions) was positively dripping with silliness. Look at the AD&D PH and DMG. There are comics inside the rulebooks. I didn't start playing till midway through AD&D 2e. Planescape had a LOT of humor (although I felt it was appropriate) and there was Spelljammer. Spelljammer was full of silly bits. Every book had something off beat. There was an adventure where the PCs fight off invading creatures on the back of a humanoid gargantuan. There are giff (not that funny IMO, but people think that a race of militan humanoids based on one of the most deadly animals in Africa is silly) Dohwar (space penguin merchants!), flying pigs, gnome ships run by giant hampsters, tinker gnomes were a parody of engineers that their designer knew, etc. I can only think of one D&D adventure for 3E that had humor (a calzone golem in one adventure).
