Tell me about these older edition D&D products [list updated: Nov 20/10]

The Diablo II books for 3e were pretty interesting, but in the end there were some home conversions that did the job better for the classes.

The monsters, on the other hand, I pulled out fairly regularly in my games.

Do you have any experience with the 2e Diablo II book?

This one.

Also...

I bought "X10 Red Arrow, Black Shield" today. It didn't have the modules "200 counters" but that's not a big loss since I'd most likely use it in a 3e Mystara campaign that would use the Malhavoc Press sourcebook, Cry Havoc, for large scale combat.

I got it mainly for the background information and to complete my Desert Nomad module trilogy collection.

The color map of the Known World is pretty cool, however.

Nosireebob. Only 2e I ever looked at was Dark Sun - and that was because I'm such a post-apocalyptic RPG fan.

No worries. It didn't hurt to ask.

Which of the two 3e Diablo books is better?

Do they cover the same ground or is each one unique (i.e. classes, monsters, etc.)?

I found this for 50 cents today...

...along with three other adventures for non-D&D RPGs. This one, I'm keeping.

Diablerie (the smaller one) has the character classes and magic items and some of the monsters.

To Hell & Back (the bigger one) has the adventures and all the monsters.

And congrats on the Fez find. Any / all of the role-aids books at anything under $10 a hit are worth getting.

Hmm, it sounds like I'll be getting To Hell & Back. I don't really care about the character classes since I'd be using the monsters for World of Kulan.

Thanks.

There are few of the Role Aids books and boxed sets that I'm considering. I'm fairly certain I want "Witches" and all three of the Monsters of Myth & Legend sourcebooks as well as the adventure called "Beneath Two Suns" and maybe the accessory called "Lizardmen" and the adventures called "Clockwork Mage," "Lich Lords," "Swordthrust," and "War of Darkness."

I'll likely look at getting the "Demons" and "Demons II" boxed sets (if I can find them at a reasonable price) as well as the "Denizens of" monster expansions for those two boxed sets. (I think I'm more likely to get the monster expansions first.)

Glantri is a very interesting book because it has the first occurrence of prestige classes for BECMI D&D (and usable in B/X also). I can see why it was listing at $30. It also explains what happened to the spaceship that crashed in Blackmoor and how it will spell the end of the world if the Glantri wizards aren't kept in check.
