AD&D 2E Officially Licensed Ruleset and Content

[gqwebb]

Thank you so it is just personnel prefs then. I missed the whole 2e as I was in the Army 86 - 98. I shall give it a run through and thanks for the hard work. I am so excited about my favorite mod U1 coming out on 5e. But a 2e version could be more true to form.

Oh, my. I just made the "mistake" of digging through some old storage boxes, and uncovering mounds of old AD&D material, including lots of 2e. Birthright? Al'Qadim? More Forgotten Realms stuff than I could think of? Battlesystem?

Pardon me, I think I just had a nostalgiagasm.

A 1995 DMG. A 1989 PHB (very worn, and with my signature inside the front cover because I was constantly having to hand books around to people who couldn't afford a copy). A couple of volumes of Monstrous Compendium.

And I haven't even gone through all the boxes...

Anybody know a good support group for gamer nostalgia?

Welp, you're in a good place now ! There is also dragonsfoot.org for AD&D 1 and 2 discussions where we endlessly talk about the merits of Alignment

U1 will hopefully be available very soon.

Hey all! I do not think I have ever posted on here, but I wanted to say FANTASTIC job for getting this approved! ...

I wanted to say congratulations once again! I hope this continues to allow more and more DMs and players to find their way back to the game!

Welcome to the forums

Awesome job! More excited about this than any other ruleset; so many happy memories and so many pdfs that I can sit down and convert.

Just last week I was going through some boxes in storage doing some re-organizing and came upon my old 1E and 2E books. Played as a PC back then, so only have the PHB and all the class supplements. Still takes up over a foot of shelf space...

Even found the old campaign maps (I was always the cartographer) and character sheets. And also the box of minis we used for our PCs (I made them for all PCs). Those were the days...

We were all just past high school and some were part way through university. My mother even used to play along with us! Dad was convinced we'd all start living in the sewers and become serial killers... B^}

My kids have had my 1e books for the last 14+ years (since they were old enough to read). Time to go into their rooms and reclaim what is mine.
