Still love the Citadel of the Amazons (as 1+1 HD monsters, they rock).

How could you truly stand that watered-down Coors that is 2E when you could have the hearty Guiness-like stout that is AD&D?<br /><br />Oh, well...I am still a fan of your blog, but on 2E we will have to agree to disagree. I have collected scores of RPGs over the years and sold very few of them back to Ye Olde Game Shoppe. AD&D2 was one of them (considering I still own 3E despite a vow never to play it again, that should say something!).JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-85537645529780534342009-06-03T04:53:23.019-06:002009-06-03T04:53:23.019-06:00When I run AD&D, it is 2E - with 1E modules, s...When I run AD&D, it is 2E - with 1E modules, supplements, etc. Organisation, clarity, clear delineation of core and optional rules, ease of adaptation, and (of course) THAC0. While I have used an "AAC" system, I find THAC0 much easier to use than a chart.<br /><br />Also, THAC0 exposes gamers unable to perform basic math. I've lost count of the number of players, college age and above, who have difficulty adding and subtracting a few and often single digit numbers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-74482768790635338462009-06-02T22:15:01.536-06:002009-06-02T22:15:01.536-06:00I agree on the blue art -most of it was crap.

Williams) [Monstrous Compendiumsssss, for example].<br /><br />I hated most of the art in the books. What was up with that blue junk? Ugh. Trauma.<br /><br />But, yes, overall, I agree (whoop-dee-doo lol) that it was a smoother play and GMing experience.<br /><br />I still prefer Ascending AC, though. :DTimeshadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952601433965644275noreply@blogger.com
