[QUOTE="conclave27, post: 6063163, member: 95216"] I think the issue is the separation of 2E as a time period of gaming versus the diabolical business practices of the parent company and its reputation. The same argument can be made for the rescuers of the genre of WOTC and Hasbro. I am well aware you are familiar with their drama, its draconian measures, its Cease and Desist orders to fandom, and its treatment of its creative talent. I am aware of the issue of the original TSR, as they have been talked about before. I was enraged when my subscription to the magazine was stopped and the company did not reply to me until after one year of my subscription status!!!! It was sad about Dangerous Journeys... which I have have the Epic of Aerth as well....since it is another version of Greyhawk. It was criminal what they did to Gygax, Arnesonm and early giants of the industry, .Buck Rogers... hey its a campaign system, and again as a fan of the show and genre loved it. Guess what... I bought as many of those books under the regime of TSR...... and the Complete Book of Elves was one of my favorites as it coalesced and began to organize what the overall material was and paved the way for future book like the 3E Races of the Wild...series. It was at that time really the only thing we had. Plus what other choices were out there at that time during 2E? Palladium, GURPs, Mayfairgames, Rollmaster, Warhammer, and infant White Wolf.
