[QUOTE="teitan, post: 9275886, member: 3457"] Yeah that was the time frame and I remember it being a issue back to the 90s. It squelched a lot of hot games. I can remember the game store I frequented in the 90s having all these cool Deadlands books and yet they never got a core book in. The owner would just say "you can come in and learn to play on our Deadlands night" and I felt very off put by that. Sure, I can come in to play but I have no clue how to make a character or the mechanics. He could always get Castle Falkenstein in though! The dry period in 2e was so crazy. I remember other books coming out but it was very much a "where are the core rules"? I had long before sold my 2e stuff and had gotten back into it after a year of so of VtM and recall seeing the PHB with the original cover with a $40 price tag in a used bookstore because they were all so hard to get. Crazy is in 2002 I could buy them on Ebay, along with 1e books, for pennies on the dollar and sell them in the store for $10-15. [/QUOTE]
