[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9177200, member: 52734"] I was an early adopter of 2E, getting the books as soon as they came out. I mourned the loss of Half-Orcs and the Assassin & Monk classes, but overall was happy for the switch from 1E. I really appreciated the rules cleanup and reorganization from the previous edition (of course, I'm also one of those who would never play 1E again without UA). I always felt that the original 2E PHB cover was weak and did nothing to say "this is D&D!" and sorta prefer the revised PHB cover. Best PHB cover ever, in my opinion was the Ringlerun cover (1E new cover). One of the odd things is that my copy of the 2E PHB, which was a 1st printing had the picture of the mage in the potter's smithy picture on page 59. All subsequent copies I've run across has the picture on page 60. I never could figure out why it changed pages. Also, the amount of page space taken up talking about horse quality in the DMG is ... hilarious. I don't think since 3E I've had PCs who even [I]use[/I] horses. [/QUOTE]
