[QUOTE="Whisper72, post: 5417526, member: 17339"] If I started a new game now, I'd go for a 1e/2e combination. I would use the DMG from 1st Ed include the Wilderness Survival Guide and Dungeoneering Survival Guide for some additional stuff, as well as books such as the Planar Handbook etc. From 2nd Ed I'd use the PHB. For monsters, the 1st Ed monster books and/or the Monstrous Manual from 2nd Ed. I would stay away from the Players Options stuff as well as al the various 'kitbooks' (excepting the Psionics Handbook if I'd want to include psionics) for classes and kits, only plunder the various XXX Handbooks for (magic) items etc. I usually plunder the setting info from the various 2nd Ed campaign worlds. At some time there will be spelljammers flying around, a hop to the planes will involve the Planescape material (although demons are demons and devils devils...) and at some time there is a large chance that a jaunt into Ravenloft will be featured in some way... I personally find small difference between 1st and 2nd edition, mainly the way the rogue and the bard work (I like the 2nd edition variants more...) and some spells are more streamlined / limited in damage etc. (for which I also generally prefer the 2nd edition variants) [/QUOTE]
