I love to run 2E, but it’s definitely a labor of love. That said, most of the fiddly stuff was handled extremely well with the CR2.0 software. Inventory management, character development, and access to all the tables across multiple books with automated outputs greatly helps play. The only problem with it is it’s difficult to update and customize. The other upside is that basically everything that TSR put out was added to custom DBs by the fan community in the early 2000s, so the bulk of the “hard work” is done. It’s just a complete PITA to use the OE program to import custom files. The character generator is also excellent, however, it is somewhat limited in that it effectively only allows two paths for character development, either PHB core or PO:S&P full options. Making this slightly more a la carte would be nice.</blockquote>
