We have only played AD&D 1st ed (TSR/WOTC related). So this guy that we know told us that he would ref our first game if we could get an OD&D box set with hobbits, ents and balrogs in the text of the three books, a copy of Chainmail 3rd ed, a copy of the Outdoor Survival board game, a copy of the Arduin Grimoire trilogy (a grab bag of ideas, particulary for ref characters[NPC's]), a copy of each of the first three D&D supplements and a copy of some other old D&D refs house rules from 1974-1977 used with OD&D. He also gave us a list of some classes (bard, etc) that we had to get a copy of the info from the Strategic Review/Dragon.
We are almost there, we only need a copy of Supplement II & III. We have everything else.
He said our first game will be under the following parameters: All characters will be rolled 3d6 in order, make your six rolls and you get what you get. We will be using only using Chainmail, the three books, and Outdoor Survival and the first version house rules from the second half of 1974.

Yes, I believe this gent of whom I speak (he calls himself Old Black Bart) seems to be just like Diaglo, he does have all or most all of the rulebooks for the different versions and his favorite RPG is Original (1974) D&D - nearly all other versions are worthy only of being called resources materials but not to be played. Except 3.0 & 3.5 which after he looked at 3.0 he declared them the foul thing that shall not be mentioned, not worthy of even being a resource. He did get one of the Spartan 300 of C&C, it is the only D20 item of which he will speak. He also has the Mythus books, Lejendary Earth and the Arduin books. He said that if Gygax wrote it, then it will be at the very least an awesome resource and a must have. The Arduin books are a great grab bag of ideas, just choose wisely.
