I ran a pretty great, if I say so myself, AD&D campaign. I started with a campaign that was find the pieces to reforge the sword of ages to beat the big bad (I know right?) that eventually ended up with psionics and spelljamming. Obviously I’m nostalgic, but the AD&D 2e era was marvelous. It’s fun to look at those old notebooks. It reminds me of the charming MUDs of that era. There was a total focus on fun, with no concern about irrelevancies like “intellectual property.” That’s of course the spirit of D&D. Appendix N literally encouraged lifting ideas from published works. The hardest part was organizational. I had a half dozen enthusiastic players, but arranging a time where everyone could be there was a real challenge.
