i haven't played D&D with dice etc in 30 years or so, but we were really into it back in "the day." I am pretty sure that we were using the wrong rules but it didn't stop us from trying. I have noticed a resurgence of these sorts of games at some of the local gaming cafe's in my city, but it takes a ton of time to get involved.

I do remember really enjoying it but now since most of my friends have English as their 2nd language the rules that i already fond complicated when playing before would probably not work out very well when I'm trying to translate into Thai. haha
