I figgure this is probably the best place to ask, since you guys are really into old school D&D and the like.
My husband played D&D while he was in High School (1976-1980ish?) and has fond memories of it. He always has spoken fondly of both his gaming experience and the quality of the books he had. I say had, because his first wife, in one of her fits of Baptist indignation destroyed his books (amg, tehy're teh ebil!!!!). He had Dieties and Demigods, the Player's Handbook and a Monster Manual. Hubby has said a few times that he wishes he still had those books.
Unluckily for me, both his birthday and Christmas are in the same month. What's harder than buying for a man? Buying for a man twice in the same month. So, I was considering replacing those books, but, I'm not even sure what edition they were. Hubby says they were first edition books, but, I think he was referring to the printing, not the ruleset.
So, I was wondering if you guys had any ideas which books they might be, or could point me in the direction of some sort of D&D library to take a stab at figuring it out? If nothing else, maybe you might have a few ideas on at least which ruleset it might have been?
Thanks for any help at all. I'd ask hubby more questions, but, he's a bit hazy on the details and I don't want to tip my hand.
