At the moment I am excited because I managed to gather my friends for a total D&D week-end. I have not played the game for a long time but I always wanted to and during the last months I wrote down a dungeon which is now ready to run. So I talked my friends into it. Some of them have not played D&D for about ten years so - it will be a real backflash. This time I will DM with the White Box as my tool of reference and it is the first time I will do so. I used the OCE plus some monsters, spells and treasures from Greyhawk Supplement when I built my adventure module, so I am sure it will be 100% compatible with the original edition of the rules.
I am sure my players will enjoy it, because back in school, when we played on a regular basis, we used the AD&D Players Handbook with all the optional rules left out as our rules which is IMHO quite close to White Box+Greyhawk.
The only non-oldschool element will be that I am thinking about using my WotC Miniatures and Dungeon Tiles for representing battles, but I think they are a nice tool to present some eye-candy (I am afraid I would not find my old chits, tokens and tin miniatures anyway).
We rented a hut in the forest for this week-end so I am sure the atmosphere will be at its best.
This will also be a kind of Play-Test for my Adventure, because I am planing to share it thereafter in form of a PDF in case here is some interest in it.
I am really looking foreward to it, and hope you are having D&D sessions ahead of you as well.
EDIT: The reason why I opened an own thread for this is, because I would like to tell you about it afterwards and as I mentioned attach my dungeon here then.
