[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5298527, member: 52734"] Okay, can someone provide examples of what they consider "drek" from 2E? I'm honestly curious, as a lot of people bandy it about as the prime problem with TSR, but I never see examples, or I actually [I]liked[/I] what they hated. I'm not certain of the years on this, but the only items I can think of from around this time that I disliked or would consider "drek" were (I remembered a couple more): DragonStrike (game was okay - the video, though GAH!) The Horde (and associated adventures - just too different and unappealing and poorly supported/explained - also, too closely tied to real-world Mongolia Steppes and not fantasy enough) Maztica (The sound of a campaign set in an Aztec/Maya world sounds great [see Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan], but I feel it was implemented poorly; it tried to be [I]too[/I] close to the real South/Central America and not fantasy enough) Gold & Glory (OSPREY-like books don't interest me) [/QUOTE]
