3.0

A rich source of inspiration, but catastrophically organised (it largely tries to follow the PHB and provides an under-the-hood exegesis of it, but keeps going off into the long grass to talk about stuff of little game import) and all in the service of a system which is entirely too complex for anyone to want to bother with. Mine it for ideas for B/X or 2E rather than trying to play the monstrosity which is 1E AD&D.
