You guys always lose me when you start discussing the merits and demerits of the various letter editions of the AD&D rules. I hadn't purchased any of the newer edition manuals since the 1980's when I was in to the pen and paper thing.

I've picked up a few newer manuals since then second hand or online for some insights or ideas for whatever CRPG I'm working on but not the newer DM or Player's manuals which only seem to me to have lost the spirit, simplicity and flavor of the original game when it was Gygax's baby. Actually I collect the original stuff that Gygax first published as I think they are the coolest AD&D modules, art, rules etc.
