Comment on “The Teaching Process and A.I.”

I caught up on Introducing Gameplay itself as of a day or two ago, but haven't been able to read all of your new posts about this project yet. I've been wondering why you are devoting this project to explaining AD&D by the book, when you could be explaining your own game version instead. The approach would transfer over, no? You'd still be explaining what D&D is and how it works for a complete novice, without being beholden to some of the dumber stuff in strict AD&D.

Maybe 'cause AD&D, not being your creation, is an external yardstick against which you and others can measure your work?
