What does OAD&D stand for?

[Power_Word_Wedgie]

Yeah, you dies a lot, but the monsters died quicker as well. Pretty much during a first level campaign the first person to get hit died. And then there was the wizards dying from giant rat bites. Still, I do love it the best of all versions of D&D. However, kinda hard to find a group.

OD&D = Original D&D (no advanced), and was the best, most balanced (if boring) system until the modern technology of v3.5 came out. Try it sometime, you might like it cause you tend to die ALOT. HP=0=dead. Now make due when your highest ability score is a 14, and you have to roll for your starting hit points. Yessirree kids, uphill, both ways, through a snowstorm, and we ate dirt for XP and liked it.

OAD&D = 1st edition Advanced. Yeah, yeah, whatever, who cares about spell components and your PC's eye color. Doesn't change the fact that you still die ALOT.

LOL! So true, so true. Let's not forget the exponential XP progression - "Hey, I only need 1,250,897 XP until my next level!"

In all honesty, it was so damn fun!

Here are a few suggestions:
1) Original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (1st Edition)
2) Oriental Adventures Dungeons & Dragons
3) Old Agitated Desperate & Demented
4) Origami Applied Dementia & Dorkiness

He probably has some pretty powerful 36th level friends... although each class probably has the same abilities, saves, and ~HP...

OAD&D is 1edADnD.

OD&D(1974) is the only true game. All the other editions are just poor imitations of the real thing.

Diaglo, you do realize that some of us weren't even born yet in 1974, right?

I was anywhere from 4 months to 1 year old.

Thanks for the many, varied, and sometimes mildly entertaining replies.
