To ALL ENWorlders: Did you play 1E AD&D?

[Nikosandros]

Another yes... I played a lot of it and I'm currently running a weekly game.

 

[DragonLancer]

Yes. I was DM for our small group. Only played it for about 18 months before 2nd edition came out.

 

[Melan]

Not in the traditional sense. The games way back when I started could be most accurately abbreviated as PAD&D (Photocopied Advanced Dungeons & Dragons), and they were a mishmash of multiple translations/summaries/rule compilations, some based on 1e, some on 2e, and some on either of these with house rules, new classes and stuff thrown in. I still fondly remember The Ruby Codex and gauntlets of Arnold Schwarzenogre. Playing half-orc assassins was all the rage, and some people were running around with +8 vorpal maces. Ahhh.

I've been playing since 1977, and am a particpant in a group that is a meld of 1Ed/2Ed that has been running since about 1985, but only intermittently (perhaps 3 adventures a year) since the advent of 3.X.

 

[jgbrowning]

Yes, I played 1e. Fun times.

[S. Baldrick]

[RichGreen]

Yes, loads. Seems like a long time ago now.

Started playing Advanced at age 7, played until 2nd ed came out and then tried 2nd ed with my buddies. None of us cared much for it and continued playing Advanced and several other FRPG's by other companies until 3rd ed came out. Currently we switch between Advanced and 3rd ed and various minture games thrown in to keep things interesting.

 

[Driddle]

Yes, lots. Lots and lots!

That was back when you could use actual dinosaurs to represent dragons, and a dungeon was just a really deep cave, right?

"We didn't have dice back then. We had rocks. We threw them at each other. And we LIKED IT...."

 

[Wormwood]

Played it, loved it, have no desire to play it again.

That said, I enjoy reading the 1e DMG more than any single other RPG rulebook---and I have hundreds to choose from.
