Nope, we can't. Since AD&D isn't ANY game, but a PARTICULAR game by TSR, all we can conclude is that someone playing AD&D is either a real man (sic) or a Munchkin (not quite as grotesque, but still sic). If a group played AD&D and then another game by TSR, then we could conclude that they're Munchkins, since real men ONLY play AD&D. Heimdall [a.k.a. Alan Schmidt] ..tektronix!reed!bifrost
