I settle in to share my thoughts about the Original Edition Campaign from author Erik Johansson. Is this digest chock full of essential and optional rules for both players and Dungeon Masters of Original Dungeons & Dragons? Or is this a case of been there, seen that? You’ll find out!

Summary
While there is a solid amount of content within the Original Edition Campaign, I found a lot of these optional rules are standard fare in later editions of Dungeons & Dragons or in a variety of retroclones currently available. Plus, I don't really know if there's a much of an audience for this digest seeing it's really aimed at gamers who are playing OD&D and seemingly haven't been exposed to other editions of D&D or the aforementioned retroclones. If you fall into that category, then I'd certainly recommend giving OEC a peek
