[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5047341, member: 8835"] as kids, we'd read all the pick-a-path books we could find. And many of the D&D novels. And we saw the ads in comics. So, living in a small town with no bookstores or malls, in 1990, 1th grade I saved up some money and mail ordered from American Entertainment (who advertised in comics) I ordered the PH and DMG for 2nd ed and red gem dice from the Armory. I got the 1E PH and the 2E PH and the dice. The writing styles were noticeably different in the two books. I thought the character generation was wacked up (thieves don't get to put points in their skills?) We played about 2 games with the 1E PH, while I sorted out the problem with the company. Then I shipped it back and got the right PH. The rules were much better organized. From there, my friend got some used copies of the the 1E MM and MM2. Later, I bought the Monsterous Compendiums. And we played 2e until about a year after 3e came out. We bought most of the rule books, the Complete series and the Players Option stuff. We never bought campaign sets or adventures/modules.
