I was looking though my uncles old stuff and found a 1est Edition Advanced D&D players hand book and about 4 old scemario books. I even found his old character sheet

His name was 'The mighty spoon'

Good name. English not being our native tongue, a friend of mine used to come up with funny sounding names straight from the dictionary (the rest of us didn't know about it back then). Having studied English for 5 years or so, we knew what some of them meant, but others were just cool.

There were characters like Gall Bladder, Hamb Urger among others I can no longer remember.

I never had the 1st edition books back then, just very illegal copies from a friend. Did buy all I could later though, but I'm still missing the printed versions of Fiend Folio (you know the one with a Githyanki on cover) and Legends and Lore. Will probably never get them though. Though I'm considering of buying them through ebay...

Raven, I saw that Fiend Folio about a year ago in a yardsale kind of thing. I had to choose back then which one I would buy... they had many old dnd books there, and I wasn't going to spend all my money. Otherwise I would've gotten it. :S

I got the old DMG and a ad&d adventure in Dutch (didn't even know those existed!!) instead. Those are also wonderful. I now forget if I also got the Manual of the Planes or not... I should've taken them all.

In Dutch? O.o Coolness!

Yup there are shops on the net selling used Ad&d books and there's a couple at ebay. But more of then than not, the shipping costs are higher than the price of item itself. Then again, I'm not looking for them actively any more. Will buy if I come upon one somewhere some day.
