-AD&D consists of several of rulebooks published during the 70s and 80s. Demon Idol attempts to closely follow the PHB, DMG, DDG, and monster books. It also uses the spells, magic items, and some additional rules from UA. Whether your table uses the classes and races in UA is a matter of individual campaigns (see [[Campaign Guide]] and [[Character Tokens]]). The books published after Gary Gygax's departure in 1985 (DSG, WSG, MotP) are used for inspiration, and sometimes we adopt rules from these books, but they are not used directly and can safely be ignored in most cases.+AD&D consists of several of rulebooks published during the 70s and 80s.

 Earlier versions of WotC's reprints had some errors in them. Most of them appear to have been fixed by Summer 2022, though there are still some OCR errors. If you use the WotC reprints, you might want to check out the list of errors [[https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=69162|here]] and [[https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58455|here]], especially if your copies were from a while ago. Earlier versions of WotC's reprints had some errors in them.
