Scribing additional spells?

Hi,
I'm not satisfied with the limited spells available to my magic users

In the old gold box D&D games, additional spells could be gained by scribing from scrolls into the "Spell book." However, I can't figure out how to do this. How to add additional spells?

IIRC you can't scribe new spells to either Clerics or Sorcerors in any D&D games pnp or computer. Only Mages can learn new spells from scrolls and that was one of the classes thay left out. Sorry.

Of course it was left out, POR already got Sorcerers, Mages and Sorcerers all cast Arcane Spells, POR won't want 2 Arcane Casters in the game, different types.
But then, you can rest.

I'm guessing that's why they left out Druids and Bards as well?

I don't think there would be Druids, because D&D is a middle age & fantasy base game

What does D&D being set in a fantasy middle ages time period have to do with Druids? They were around in the middle ages, and most of the lore surrounding them is fantasy. PERFECT

Not at all. They were the holy people to the Gaels(not just restricted to Ireland), and strange enough some of which were skilled in playing the harp and storytelling, and some were better at healing. There were also some who were good at both. Usually higher ranking Druids were advisors to royalty because they were schooled in law.
