Ad&d I played some, but was years ago. Like Trantor, I have played DSA, but that was ages ago.
Not long ago, I got the old D&D from Beowuuf(thanks again, man : ) which is the predecessor of Ad&D.
It is more old school and I quite like the character classes.
(btw, I would be interested in 'downloads' because I always like to see dungeon stuff)
Well, I played a bit of Shadowrun, which magic system I quite liked and yeah, guess what : that was long ago..between DSA and AD&D..
Alas, I do not have anyone to play with.. kind of difficult to get people to meet in one place and concentrating on playing; should ask again, but these are either into Mmoprgs (WoW, neverwinternights ) or Battlefield2 computer games. There should be a way, to get some people to play together, though.
I did, last year, test a bit of 3rd edition dnd, but the guys where not my age (a bit younger), so had different playing styles, master didn't know some basics, although he had all the really necessary 20 supplement books. To make it short, it was not my cup of tea and additionally was also too far away.
It is cool that Trantor can play so much, and I find it utterly disturbing to hear that Ameena doesn't find anyone for playing. Good luck in Newcastle!
How about you, Mon Ful Ir, do you actively play some ?
postscriptum:
I am sporadically working on a rpg ; It's a difficult task.
basically it is inspired by dungeon master and the other rpgs.
I draw pictures on sheets of paper with scribblings of noted down ideas .. maybe computer would be a better platform for it - or just pictures(which reminds me, I should really post some again).
