[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 5998032, member: 25619"] I like AD&D and I love 3.5e. I'm not a 2e fan. AD&D was the high water mark of D&D. D&D's popularity peaked around 1983-1984 (I asked Gygax once on here), the heart of AD&D's reign. It's also got tons of classic IP -- all those classic Gygax adventures. 3e/3.5e was the revival. Many people came back to the game in the 3e era -- myself included and many of my friends. At the time, I remember WOTC giving the average age of a D&D player, which was the right age to have played AD&D as a kid. And 3/3.5 has tons and tons of 3rd party material. 2e was at the time when D&D was in decline, not growing, and it's just not as geeky old-school head-banging as AD&D and 3e -- no demons, no evil PC's, no Greyhawk. It does have Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance and the novels and computer games based thereupon. So I think they may republish 2e, but that's why it's not as high a priority as true old school and new old school -- they are going where the people were. [/QUOTE]
