Don't complain about there being so much talk of AD&D.
It is a trait of human nature to enjoy insulting people/things.
And there's just so much in AD&D to criticise, well, the temptation
is just too much.

Despite all its warts, AD&D can still be fun to play, given a good
scenario, and a good DM,and good players (or tolerant ones).
It wouldn't survive if this were not the case.

I hate it, that such an imperfect system should be so prolific,
but I fear it's here to stay.
So discussion on how to improve the game is inevitable.

AD&D is in the stocks, here.
Try throwing a few rotten tomatoes, you'll feel much better.
