For those of you who still play 2nd Edition AD&D

First Post
Are there any message forums you can recommend that deal mostly or exclusively with 2nd Edition AD&D? I know there are a lot of 2nd Edition players here. I often run into 2nd Edition players looking for an online discussion forum where they can discuss rules and problems specific to that edition of the game, and a community of players who play the same game.

Try here. This seems to be THE site for older editions of DnD.

Enjoy

Also, DO keep in mind that this forum does have lots of former 2nd edition players, and people who still play. It wouldn't hurt to post a question here in addition if it's something you want a wide range of persepective on.

A recent thread here was asking about "Who plays OOP D&D?" and tons of people clicked that they do (poll).

My edition of choice is 2nd edition. Dragonsfoot is pretty good, but keep in mind it's more geared to 1st edition. There are even some 1e "Gygax only" snobs who look down on 2e there. So you may be disappointed, though the 2e forum on dragonsfoot is pretty active.

You may also wish to try www.planetadnd.com. Personally, I'm not crazy about it, but it *does* have a 2e forum, so it can't hurt to check it out.

Oh, one more thing: be wary posting about 2nd edition here on enworld. Most of the folks here rock on toast (I love this place) but there are more than a few jerks who will follow-up to any 2e thread by saying, "I hate 2e. It's the reason I stopped playing RPGs". Classic threadcrap.

Yep, dragonsfoot, as many others have said. Keep the faith, brother. As you said, there are still tons of 2e players out there, many of whom are more or less "disengaged" from the general RPG culture and just enjoying their games. I'd second Chainsaw's advice--some enworlders are snarky anti-2e'ers, but not many. This gourp is as good a place as any to discuss 2e. Just use the "1e/2e" message tag. And don't write that 3.5 SUXXORS1! or anything. ;)

Oh, and in case you can't tell, 2e is my game of choice. Always will be. ;)
