Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celebrim" data-source="post: 3759459" data-attributes="member: 4937">Shows how much attention I paid to it.  Anyone have a clue what I'm remembering?  I seem to remember some major NPC's had to be overhauled as fighters because thier class went away?  And you don't know anyone who 'voted for Nixon' either.  Seriously, I never claimed to know whether I was in a majority (I seldom am, so by that rule I'm likely not), but I do claim that I'm representative of a large number of players because there are quite a few DMs on Enworld that reported the same experience, and my group wasn't the only group in the area that was referencing the 1st edition books as its primary rules documents into the mid-90's at least.I have no clue, nor do I know how the sales broke down or what percentage of books were being sold to players that weren't playing 2E (I bought several).  I do know that from my perspective, 2E itself was the beginning of it shooting itself in the foot because it wasn't a DM/player driven change in the game.  To cite something everyone will remember, demons and devils didn't leave the game because the players demanded it, they left the game because of an internal corporate decision.  (Ironically, I may be one of the few DMs that didn't miss them.)</blockquote>
