[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8897705, member: 52734"] Does this happen to bring back any memories for anyone? I pulled the old AD&D CD-ROM Core Rules 2.0 / Expansion disks out of storage and installed it on my PC to assist with helping my players make 2E characters (and along the way, rediscovered some old rules I forgot - for example, that Halflings couldn't have 18 Wis...). [spoiler] [ATTACH type="full"]272541[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] It came with a lite version of Profantasy's mapmaking software with which you could make overland maps or dungeon maps [spoiler] [ATTACH type="full"]272542[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] Besides being able to make Characters, NPC and Monsters (and having all the monsters from the Monstrous Compendium included, with color pictures), it also had all the "Complete" line of books available in RTF & HTML format (& CHD Help format*) Characters (& NPCs) can be made with the standard rules (including option from the "Complete" series), or using the Player's Option rules for even more options. [spoiler] [ATTACH type="full"]272543[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] List of included books: [LIST] [*]Dungeon Master's Guide [*]Monstrous Manual [*]Player's Handbook [*]Arms & Equipment Guide [*]Tome of Magic [*]DM Option: High Level Campaigns [*]Player's Option: Combat & Tactics [*]Player's Option: Skills & Powers [*]Player's Option: Spells & Magic [*]The Complete Bard's Handbook [*]The Complete Druid's Handbook [*]The Complete Fighter's Handbook [*]The Complete Paladin's Handbook [*]The Complete Priest's Handbook [*]The Complete Ranger's Handbook [*]The Complete Thief's Handbook [*]The Complete Wizard's Handbook [*]The Complete Book of Dwarves [*]The Complete Book of Gnomes & Halflings [*]The Complete Book of Elves [/LIST] The best news? It still works with Windows 10/11! * Which, unfortunately, is the only format that doesn't work on PCs newer than Win 8) ... along with the website links to the various companies... [/QUOTE]
