My best friend's dad has a bunch of the older books. Probably like 2.0 and 2.5. And I mean a lot of them. Monster manuals, Deity guides, campaigns, etc... It'll be fun seeing the difference our generation uses from those versions of the game.

The reason I want them is not as much to play by those rules (though I probably will), but to read. I love reading books of those sorts. Knowledge for future reference, though I don't really see what I'd need it for just yet. xD

So, have any of you seen the older stuff? I mean, I myself have only glanced at 3.0, and the likes. Truthfully, I've only ever played part of a single campaign, so reading up on the old version, and maybe even playing such would be quite fun.

I have read up on every version back to oD&D.

AD&D (1e) of course is where the forgotten realms began

AD&D (2e) marks the time of troubles (THAC0 was a pain in the a**, but not SO bad)

As much as i love 3.x D&D, the AD&D 2e books had MUCH MUCH more detailed information about EVERYTHING.

Awesome sauce. I want to get ahold of as many books as I can. I know a friend that is selling all of the 3.5 series $10 a piece. Not bad in my opinion, seeming that they're all in good condition.

I bought the 2e Monsterous Manual before I started playing as a reference to the books set in the campaign settings. Then my Dad's friend who hadn't played in forever gave me the 1e Dungeon Master's Guide and Player's Handbook. I tried to DM several sessions with them. the system seemed sound but it was hard to understand and plus I was trying to put 2e monsters in a 1e campaign. it failed.

somehow the rogue tricked me into giving him an undead dark naga as a minion.
