[QUOTE="Breakdaddy, post: 3054306, member: 6608"] Aside from the obvious answer, which is to go get the AD&D 1e stuff and play the original game in all its glory, I would go with C&C. It provides much of the feel while giving the game a bit of polish via the D20 core mechanic and the SIEGE engine. As you may know, you can play OAD&D modules directly from the originals with conversions made on the fly, little to no prior conversion will be necessary. You can also strap any of the old AD&D/Basic D&D rules you want onto C&C to give it an even more authentic old school feel if desired, with a minimal of fuss and little likelihood of "breaking" any other parts of the system. I like Hackmaster as well, and own it, but as previously stated, it is not not as easy to pick up as C&C or even OAD&D if you decide to use some or all of the new optional rules. If I were to play Hackmaster again, I would probably drop those rules. But then, I would just be playing AD&D, so why not go that direction more cheaply? [/QUOTE]
