Re: OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun
The rules in the Player's Handbook are not that complicated. There are just a lot. Just follow the book chapter by chapter to create a character; everything is presented in the only logical order to make your character (as some things HAVE to be done before others, naturally).

Re: OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun
you can try the sparrow method - try playing AD&D straight away. I find AD&D more attractive than either 2nd or 3rd editions.

I don't know about that... the AD&D rules were rather rough and had a lot of silly things in them... like the psionics system.  Though, I still haven't decided whether 2nd edition or 3rd edition is the better of the pair... I do have a lot of 2nd edition books and no inclination to shovel out 400+ dollars to buy all of the 3rd edition equivalents...  |

Re: OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun
"Sparrow Method - a strong kick out of the nest". As for your comment fyron, i cant realy say - i just realized i dont know ALL core AD&D rules, in my current campaign the DM is quite flexible so i might "missing" some of the worse stuff.

Re: OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun
sorry.
AD&D referers to Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, which is an expansion of 2nd Edition, and for all i know a base for 3rd edition.
DM is the Dungeon Master, the person who runs the campaign.
