Oh man, I had that Dragon shirt when I was 15. I always wondered what happened to it.
We didn't so much play AD&D back then but try to find ways to play a pretty much different game. There were so many optional rules that we just made up our own optional rules as we went. Like we never started people out on level 1. It's rought being a level 1 Wizard, with only one spell at your command, and everyone always chooses Magic Missile. So we'd let people be anywhere from level 2 to level 4 starting out. Blasphemy, I know.
People were always like 'what Campaign are you playing?' and I was like "my own." and they'd go "what do you mean?" and I'd go "I made up my own world, my own gods, my own maps, some new creatures, weapons, etc." and they'd go "jeez, you don't have a life, do you?" and I'd go "I made it all up at school.", which I did. I'd sit in class drawing dungeons and talking about traps with this dude named Rusty.
Looking back, I'm glad I grew out of it, but it was an alright way to kill the time.
