AD&D rules

    I want to learn AD&D the board game (you now the old fashioned way and not on a computer). I have looked for some sites on the net but couldn't find any that explain the rules and things like that. Does anybody know a good site for an absolute amature?

    I haven't got a simple answer but here's some thoughts.

    1) you might want to look at the 2nd/3rd edition forum here at Sorcerer's as that is aimed at D & D pen and paper gaming.
    http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=2nd/3rd+Edition+D|AMP|D&number=8

    Alternatively, you could try looking in the Never Winter Nights forum. There are some people arranging D&D roleplaying game via the interntet. This is pretty much the same as sitting around a table and playing. The computers aren't being used for anything other than allowing people to talk to each other. Anyway, you could look here:
    http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum6/HTML/000097.html

    2) You could buy a manual with all of the rules explained. These can be brought via Sorcerer's at:
    http://www.sorcerers.net/Books/index_man.php

    3) You could try looking at some of the online roleplaying sites. In particular you could try to find a group of roleplayers near where you live. Some of these sites have clubs registered with them. Anyway, here are a few to get started. Good luck.

    [​IMG] Topic moved. Also, the 3rd edition books you can buy at SP won't help him with 2nd edition D&D, which is what all the games thus far have used. For that, check http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/index.php and scroll to the bottom of the page. There's a neat guide to AD&D rules for newbies there.

    [​IMG] Here is a collection of files that describes 3E D&D. It's not complete but it should give you a start. http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/srd.html

    But the best to do is buy a player's Hand book. I'd be happy to answer any question you may have about the rules.

    may the great stench watch over you??

    Well thanx all i will take a look at all those links and sorry Tal I noticed that i posted it in the wrong forum after I clicked on the submit button.

    Is there something like the dungeon master book on the internet and does it contain lots of information about statistics and things like that?
