[QUOTE="MJS, post: 6349217, member: 6747144"] I disagree with those saying Gary was not good at business. You would not be posting on this forum were that the case. My sense, and I have read every forum post of his, is that he was too trusting, but an excellent strategist and businessman, especially where D&D was concerned. When he returned to TSR HQ, he immediatwly set things right and saved the company he started, ending gross expenditures, and publishing the UA. Anyway, I think it comes down to quality. When I look at 2E, this was a brilliant flourishing of AD&D, and not just for settings. Many of the early "splat" books were good, quality, modular additions to the game. But then the quality nosedived. I remember buying another splat book, and being disgusted by the number of typos, as well as uninspired by the material. That's when I stopped buying TSR books - when the material started sucking, and they literally could not even be bothered to proofread their suckage. [/QUOTE]
