This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

ADnD 2e - The Best Edition of DnD ever?

nope, it was any edition where characters  had skills. {besides rogues}
the edition where characters could do things beyond combat. (Diplomacy, Knowledge, Profession, Spellcraft)
before such ideas existed, 95% of the game was solely DM judgment calls: (wing it, fudge it, or probabilities)
IMHO
don't get me wrong, had tons of fun in a few 2E campaigns.

Quote from: Shasarak;1108613So let me know, what did you guys like best about running, playing, reading 2e DnD?

I cut my teeth on 2E so it will always have a soft spot in my heart. It has some quirks I'd rather it didn't, but overall it's very good. I used to bounce between 2E and the RC and I never even realized until decades later that they were different editions! I never had access to anything older until very recently so I don't think its fair to compare to, say, B/X, OD&D, or 5E which I would ultimately prefer today.
