deimos3428 wrote:First of all, I should clarify. By "OCE", I'm referring to the 6th (or newly discovered 7th!) printing of the original D&D white box set, which has the red starburst on the front. That's a fairly standard definition around here, but not everyone agrees. Some people call all white boxed sets OCEs, which in my mind isn't quite accurate, but close enough unless we're getting into specific printing minutia.
