[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 8704747, member: 8461"] Once again, we come to the end of another nostalgic look back at the D&D products of yesteryear. When my first such retrospective was completed, I went looking for another reason to [S]pull my old AD&D 2E books off the shelves[/S] enjoy sharing some fond memories with everyone here, and wasn’t sure entirely where to turn my attention. The criteria I set for myself were that they needed to be a particular line of print products which I’d managed to collect all of. But unlike the leatherettes, nothing in particular jumped out at me; while I have quite a lot of old 2E books, few of them were part of any sort of extended line. Most were instead parts of smaller sets, forming limited series that concluded after a handful of products. Naturally, that was when the lightbulb went off over my head. While there were some limited series which I haven’t finished collecting (yet), a quick perusal of my shelves confirmed that I had more than enough of these to start a limited series look-back, overviewing the various mini-collections that dotted AD&D 2nd Editions’s eleven-and-a-half years of history. I even managed to add one such collection midway through, belatedly realizing that the perfect way to end things would be with the “Apocalypse Adventures” that concluded AD&D 2E itself. So I suppose now the question is “what next?” After all, I’m having far too much fun with these to quit here. To that end, I have four ideas in mind, and I’m curious what you guys think for possible topics of future retrospectives: [LIST] [*][B]Ravenloft 2E:[/B] My favorite campaign setting, and one of the few for which I’ve managed to collect everything they put out (not including novels, computer games, etc.). [*][B]Spelljammer 2E:[/B] A close second, the weirdness of wildspace seems like it could make for a lot of fun. [*][B]Game-related nonfiction:[/B] Something really different this time! I’ve read quite a few nonfiction books about tabletop role-playing games in general, and D&D in particular; this time around, I’d be talking about my opinion of these books. [*][B]Tails of Equestria:[/B] The dark horse (pun intended) of these ideas, this would be a look back at the My Little Pony RPG from River Horse, which seems like it’s concluded, since they haven’t put out a new product for it in a little while now. Yes, I’m a bit of a brony too, so why not? [/LIST] Or maybe something else altogether? Let me know what you guys think! I won’t be starting a new thread immediately (Gen Con is coming up, after all), but I’m sure to get started before too long, and hopefully there’ll be a lot more nostalgia to be had! [/QUOTE]
