[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 5299010, member: 5038"] Different experiences. Everyone I knew at school and back home liked 2e when it was released and felt it was bettter than prior editions. We all started with AD&D1e, Holmes or B/X. However, after a couple of years, we decided the changes had not gone far enough and left. (note: edited because I had said we went back to to prior editions, but meant started with) However, we felt that there were many great products and that these products surpassed anything before them: Al Qadim/Arabian Adventures Dark Sun and many supplements (1991+) Ravenloft and many supplements (1990+) Complete Thief's Handbook Other Complete Handbooks (many kits and Complete Humanoids not withstanding) The green historical books Faiths and Avatars Monstrous Compendium withstanding) PO: Combat and Tactics PO: Spells and Magic T1-T4 many of the FR supplements Some of my friends would add Planescape and Spelljammer Hell, the campaign setting stuff we continued to use with other systems. And, I still use PO: Combat and Tactics, PO: Spells and Magic, and the Handbooks to steal as or inspire house rules for my 3e campaign. As mentioned above, I and several of the people I know loved the historical books. We thought they were some of the best stuff produced and we integrated them into our campaigns I and the people I knew never bought modules (outside of the collected/expanded classic modules) so I can't comment. However, Spellfire and Dragon Dice flopped. [/QUOTE]
