This is an excellent addition for the Rules presented in the 'Basic Set'. While not Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, or 3E Dungeons and Dragons, I find that this system, modified and a follower of the Original Dungeons and Dragons, is a very good, basic and balanced set of rules. The Basic set introduces the concept of the game, and this set is a logical, well-structured follow up that increases the amount of options and encounters for players. The limited amount of classes, spells and options is actually very attractive, and provides enough flexibility to have a fun game, that isn't cluttered with serious mechanical rules and options. A nostalgic trip, that is still very playable and quite enjoyable.

This is the rules set for the Dungeons and Dragons game that continues from where the _Basic Set_ leaves off. This is not 3rd edition but the original game. It contains a more straightforward set of rules and character options than advanced D&D had, leaving less room for imbalanced power abuses. This set covers character levels 4-11 (I think that is the top end of this set) and expands on the setting to include more wilderness adventuring. It contains character info for the higher levels including spells for MUs and clerics. It also has quality sections on new monsters and magic items.
