I thoroughly enjoyed 2E, from the release of the core books (PHB and DMG), through the first few monstrous compendiums, and the Complete Fighter's and Complete Thief's Handbook. After that, I started to become ill with the quality of releases, but until 1991 or so, it was all good for me, and I used it (to this day, my complete splatbooks still smell like the cigarettes my friends used to smoke. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />) I then later found the player's options books handy, but wasn't playing then. But my belief in what was crappy and what wasn't is different - I got a HECK of a lot of use from my 2E books - though the run did turn sour for me, it's true.As long as WotC isn't cannibalizing their own market, it's still working well for them. The one thing I DON'T see, is them growing their customer base with new players, but a friend of mine, BelenUmeria, has shown me also that WotC is indeed even taking steps in that, so I'm glad to see them reversing the trend.</blockquote>
