#RPGaday topic 24: Most Complicated RPG Owned

I'm going with AD&D1e. It has a large number of different mechanics, which are individually fairly simple, and which can be picked up gradually, but do add up to a lot of complexity. It also has a huge number of spells, very few of which have principles that apply to many others.

I'd agree that GURPS 4e is pretty complicated, just not quite as complicated.
