On the contrary. Like EGG (play be upon him) I reject the simulationist attempts (some might even call them 'heresies') at warping AD&D into something that it is not.

For example I ignore the (frankly retarded) surprise rules (1.5 pages, hoh-lee-shit) and go with flat 1d6 rolls only modified by monster abilities and role-play circumstances.
