(my God but I can run it nearly without the book) Just much less rules hopping than I remember. It plays so close to the AD&D of my youth and college years (S&W Complete especially) that it continually surprises me. I can house rule it and it doesn't break.

Actually, I have the whole available line in print. I have LL and the AEC (and somewhere OEC, but I can't find it at the moment). I have OSRIC in full size, trade paperback and the Player's Guide.
