[QUOTE="Xyxox, post: 4673194, member: 16542"] I play 2E and to this day it's still my favorite edition. That said, nearly the entire run is available to this day in PDF form through ENWorld/RPGNow at 4.95/item. Sticking with the Core is your best bet, especially if you've never played it. I pick and choose bits and pieces from teh splat books and options to form a basis for everything I do. It's easily customized and as you progress with it, you might want to do the same. Also, I highly recommend obtaining the Core Rules 2 CD-Rom plus the Expansion to that product. If you can at all find copies of those two pieces of software, you'll be glad you did. The Core books, almost the 15 of the splat books, the four option books, and the Tome of Magic are all included as files in RTF, HTML, and Help File format. You get two different mapper programs and software for character generation, NPC generation, Monsters, treasures, magic items, etc. and it's easy to add custom data, too. Heck, I've even added Firbolgs as a character race to the thing. Beyond that, the campaign settings are a treasure in the editiion. The shear quantity of material for 2E would allow for play for years and years with never needing anything else. [/QUOTE]
