Welcome to the 2nd Edition AD&D Collector's Guide!

This is one of a series of Echohawk's D&D Collector's Guides, each of which aims to provide a comprehensive guide to D&D products published for a particular setting or era of the game. This particular guide focuses on Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition, which was launched in 1989 and ran until 2000. This period of D&D's history was characterized by a steep climb in the numbers of products released each month, at least until TSR crashed in 1997.

This Collector's Guide doesn't list AD&D 2nd Edition products that are included in the Al-Qadim, Birthright, Dark Sun, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Lankhmar, Mystara, Oriental Adventures, Planescape, Ravenloft, and Spelljammer Collector's Guides.

This was the sixteenth installment when the Collector's Guides were first published. The original thread for this Collector's Guide is here.
