Edit: apparently these are no longer free. Sorry. I will leave up the links incase someone still wants it.

Here is a great program for your AD&D 1E games...

Dungeon Master's Assistant Volume I
Dungeon Master's Assistant Volume I and Volume II are not games but a pair of useful utility programs that prospective AD&D dungeon masters can use to help generate and organize their pencil-and-paper games. Although all text-based, the interface is intuitive and the programs are packed with a wide range of options. You can generate random encounters with monsters, random amounts and types of treasure, and random player and NPCs for use in your campaigns. Volume II allows access to Unearthed Arcana (the last of the first edition AD&D rulebooks), which contains a lot of interesting and exotic items, spells, and characters not found in the standard set. Overall, good utilities that AD&D players will find very useful, although they are of little use to anyone else.

Dungeon Master's Assistant Volume II
Same as above plus....... Volume II allows access to Unearthed Arcana (the last of the first edition AD&D rulebooks), which contains a lot of interesting and exotic items, spells, and characters not found in the standard set. Overall, good utilities that AD&D players will find very useful, although they are of little use to anyone else.

Thanks!

The Roll For Initiative Podcast was exactly what I was looking for btw. I am having to restrain myself from binge-buying every AD&D book and module I somehow lost as a youngster back in the day. Now I am listening to the podcast and living vicariously through it while I decide whether to go back to AD&D or 4th Edition, or both :P

Please keep the podcast going!

Cool. Thanks! This is what we like to hear. Buying old school books is like a drug, once you start getting one, you keep on buying. The only books I kept was the three core, and recently I have gotten the rest back. I had the rest in PDF when you were able to buy them. Personally, I'd go with AD&D 1E, and pass on 4E (for now)... but then again, I would say that... I do host a AD&D 1E podcast :)

Yeah, this is where I'm leaning. There's a nostalgia factor for me on 1E stuff. Just looking at books and module covers makes me happy.

I am also spending a lot of cash on SW Saga books thanks to the Order 66 Podcast, and SW Minis thanks to the Minis Mayhem podcast. I'd like to check out Radio Free Homlet too though I don't see them on iTunes.

But yeah 1E, very excited.

If you guys are interested in buying 1st edition books there is a store outside of Denver called Black & Read that has stacks of AD&D books cheap. I'm not sure if they do online ordering but you could give it a try.

I think you are thinking of Classic D&D or Basic D&D, we podcast about Advanced D&D
