[QUOTE="MockingBird, post: 9259031, member: 6985008"] All I remember is, by the time I was aware of D&D, it was pretty hard to come by in my area. The local game store educated me on the troubles TSR was having at the time. I think it 95 or 96. I got my 2e revised phb at Walden Books. I couldn't find a DMG or a Monster Manual. The only other items Walden's had was the Forgotten realms grey box (the revised one) and the Under Mountain box (the second one). I was able to source a DMG and a Barbarian book (the brown player option book) from the local game store. Oh! I also bought a Players Case. It was a black plastic case made especially for clerics. I think it game with a players screen (had all the tables for thaco and such for clerics), cleric specific character sheets, and I think a mini (I could be wrong). I've never seen these ever again so if anyone had one please let me know. I have no idea where mine went, just disappeared. Later when Books a Million finally came to my town (99?) I did find a Planescape Monster book and the Raven Loft Domains of Dread book (which has WotC logi on it. That was the extent of the 2e stuff I could find at that time. I was really wanting adventures because I had no idea how to run an adventure and I wanted something to go by. It wasn't until a few years later 3e came out. Fun romp down memory lane. [/QUOTE]
