[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9247002, member: 42582"] Completely different from them. Moldvay Basic is a game of dungeon crawling, and has resolution for that (stuff to do with doors, and corridors, and wandering monsters). Cook/Marsh Expert adds hex crawls, and has (weaker) systems for resolving that (miles per day, getting lost, stuff like that). Gygax's AD&D is (not in terms of publishing history, but in terms of content) a type of compilation of Basic and Expert. It has some stuff that is poorly thought out (eg brief commentary on town adventures) but mostly focuses on dungeon and hex crawls, and contains much the same rules as B/X. It also adds some wargame rules for naval battles, aerial battles and sieges. AD&D 2nd ed keeps most of the above resolution rules, doesn't really add any significant new ones, and purports to be a RPG about epic fantasy heroics of the DL-ish/post-DL-ish kind. [/QUOTE]
