Hi there. I am very happy I eventually found this collectors forum. This is really a great site all around. I am now looking for, and hoping to find the single most active forum for discussion of AD&D from a playing-it perspective (as opposed to collecting it). I have steadfastly refused to play anything other than 1st edition over the decades and in the last ten years I simply have not played at all.

Any recommendations on active forums for us curmudgeonly players?

Probably Dragonsfoot is where you want to end up.....

And probably the first time those words have been uttered on this site...

There are a couple other places to look, but DF is the best bet for folks still interested in dissecting rules and such.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

Not necessarily. Dragonsfoot has a lot of fluff on it. If you're really looking for by-the-book, die-hard AD&D 1st edition, knights-n-knaves.com is probably your best bet. It has a somewhat insular atmosphere, but they're friendlier than most forums as long as you aren't there to proselytize for another edition.
