Anyone play old school "Rules Cyclopedia" D&D?

If so, respond with your email address so I can email you a new revision of Page 22 of the "Rules Cyclopedia". The thieve's skills percentages were rediculous and way out of line with AD&D and every other game on the planet. I reworked the percentages to actually make thieves useful. I knew there was something wrong with them because the thief character in our group is level 7 and has never succeeded at anything other than climb walls!

Just print up the new page and tape it over the old one, it changes the thieve's skills tables and changes text references to match the new numbers.

Dude, I thought everyone gave up on those antiquated rules and started playing 3rd edition.
Hey Baby, Have you ever met a Newbie with 38 pages of previous posts before? Do you Want to?

I actually started with the "Really Old School" rules

We briely played by the newer Basic Set D&D rules.

And then went right AD&D.

I haven't played in 20 years, but I still have all the books, dice, modules, etc. including the first set of rule books and the first edition AD&D books.  The Basic Rule set we used belonged to someone else.

I've finally gotten around to working on a (semi) complete list of every game I own, including my AD&D stuff...
