Original Dungeons & Dragons

Comments: I want to participate in some Dungeons & Dragons adventures and I'm talking regular Dungeons & Dragons not the advanced set. Do you guys do that here?

Do you mean the Basic D&D from the 80s? That would be seriously old school! Or do you mean 3.0 or 3.5? Or do you mean the most recent version (with the Dragondudes), which is 4.0?

There is not a current Basic Dungeons & Dragons game going on at the moment, all of them are Advanced using 3.5 Rules. You are welcomed to join and try to recruit Players for Basic D&D but I'm not sure they will take to it as the Players here are already wrapped up in current RPGs.

Since 3rd edition it has just been DnD, as ADnD ended with second edition so I guess you could call all the games currently in play regular dnd. Telling people its advanced will make them think we are playing the old version's

AD&D 2nd Edition was published in 1989. In 2000, the original version of the game was discontinued and the AD&D version was renamed simply Dungeons & Dragons with the release of its 3rd edition. These rules formed the basis of the d20 System that is available under the Open Game License for use by other publishers. Dungeons & Dragons version 3.5 was released in June 2003, with a 4th edition in June 2008.

They specified not the advanced set therefore it seems they are talking about a very old version of D&D possibly even red box. There is a following out there for this although small.

I will move this Thread to RPG Reviews as this is not a Game Thread and should not be in this Board.

I admit when I first was looking at KNtoran's game, I was confused by this too - the last time I knew of there being an AD&D, it was 2nd Edition, which I owned. Anything past that was D&D again. I think the usual way of referring to pre AD&D games, like the boxed sets (redbox etc) is OD&D (original).

Good point. Maybe the person saw the labels of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (AD&D) and thought it was the 2.0 version. I wonder if I should go through the process of renaming everything just "Dungeons & Dragons" thus taking out "Advanced"?

I would be ok with that. I guess I am still a bit old school by calling it AD&D as that is the first system I learned on.
