Star Wars probably wouldn't have
been quite as big a success if Darth Vader had been named Mungo Dingleberry,
Luke had been Willmer Dadlikemey and Obi-Wan been Dingo Frootbat.

I wish I could find some people to play straight up OD&D. No character development, no nothing. Just a posse and a dungeon. And also, a dragon.

a bad GM won't be able to keep even a game of Dungeons and Dragons from overwhelming him
-Kevin Maginn, talking smack in his review of Nobilis
The original D&D seems, quite obviously, to be a pastiche of Fritz Leiber and Robert E. Howard adventure stories, set in a Tolkeinian world of Moorcockian morality, using Jack Vance's magic system, redacted for multiple protagonists. No wonder things are confused.

The other night, I whipped out my Rules Cyclopedia and B2
Keep on the Borderlands. We had an absolute freaking blast.

How many times can you meet at the Gold Dragon Inn to go off to far away StrangeLand and fight the evil mage BadGuy?

AD&D has probably brought more new gamers to the hobby than all other games combined. On that merit alone, it deserves our respect. Of course, for some of us, that's AD&D's only merit. But that's another story altogether.

I'm afraid that nostalgia clouds
my thoughts so much when it comes to discussing any version of DnD that I find
myself at a loss. I always start drifting of into daydreams where Elf and Dwarf
are classes and The Caves of Chaos are the only rpg lovin that I need.
