[QUOTE="Valiant, post: 3911572, member: 54792"] If you go back and read my posts you will see I only claimed one thing: that the directions of AD&D suggest the players only read the PH (not the DMG or MM) so that the game experiance is not ruined for them. Only at the time when someone is ready to actually start DMing do you show them the DMG (of course this could be the first time you've played or dmed if you don't have a DM already. It sounded to me you guys were saying that because the original creators of the game all took turns DMing that that meant new players were supposed to do the same (even though that was never mentioned). BTW I wouldn't call any of us inexperianced players after 2 years. I think any of us could have started DMing after 6 months (or anytime really, the point is, once you've DMed and understand the mechanics of the game it will never be the same experiance as it was when you were only a player. I suspect we actually agree on this issue, just a missreading of what we both meant. ;) [/QUOTE]
