I'm setting up an OD&D campaign for my kids and their friends. Since it's their first time playing D&D I'm leaving them complete freedom while making the characters, as long as they fit the rules. This has already yielded an uncharismatic elven muscle-mommy and a lawful thief with a battle axe. This is gonna be fun.

Having run Old School Essentials for awhile, I gotta say that the Sleep spell is as broken as I remember from D&D. It can completely shut down a low level encounter. A 1st level Magic User will be useless for the rest of the day, but that encounter is solved. I just tell the players how much treasure their characters find and move on after that spell gets cast.
Am I going to house rule it? Absolutely not. Sometimes the players need a win button.
