2nd edition will reign for all time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I recommend 2nd ed. over third for various reasons, most important being the emphasis on roleplaying over strict rules...3rd ed. seems to encourage players to see it as a video game, making the *best* characters, and hacking away at baddies...I however, have always seen character development and backstories more important, and that is why I, as a DM and a player, prefer 2nd ed. Pick up the books while you still can.
A must have

This book is essential for and AD & D game, without this you have no rules. 2nd Edition D & D cleared up many problems of the original, while still keeping the game in the realm of fun. Unlike 3rd Edition, which is just hack and slash and a mockery(kind of like the movie) of the original. 2nd Edition challenges you to think and actually get into your characters.
ADND Rocks!

I have read the old 2nd edition books and have found this one to be in a much nicer format. Despite the fact that the spells aren't that organized, the rest of the advantages greatly outweigh the disadvantages. If you are a beginner you should definitly purchase this book.
The beginings of a great game
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a really good game system, despite recent publicity to the contrary. TSR has consistently produced gaming worlds and systems that work, are nicely detailed, and thoroughly open to change if need be. While it does seem to define things quite rigidly, it does so in the essence of great fantasy. An excellent place to begin, and continue, a role playing career.
