Well if 5E is less byzantine than 2E, then I'll go on record as preferring the pre-historic versions before 2E. The original and its modules will always have a soft spot with me.

good point, I personally avoid emulators.JadedDM wrote:Actually, emulators and ROMs are considered illegal, too. Even for old games that aren't published any more. (At least, in my country, anyway. Can't speak for others.)New Hegdeh wrote:More like someone who wanted to try videogames went for high quality emulators of nes and supernes games... since the books are online, but I understand, its morally questionable to use the books that are online.

2e isn't that byzantine to me, but I guess, different strokes.JadedDM wrote:That said, how much luck have you had in convincing new players to switch to 2E? Pretty sure every single person I tried it on eventually switched over to 5E anyway in the end.
Depends on what one's definition of 'better' is. It's certainly more intuitive, more streamlined and considerably less byzantine than 2E.New Hegdeh wrote:the 5th edition isnt a better system.

Re: Location, Location, Location ...
Actually, http://www.purpleworm.org/rules/ makes specifically the 2e books (mostly the core and several of the more popular splatbooks) available online for free. There is even a legal disclaimer on the front page so users don't have to wonder or worry about crossing the line.TristenC wrote:New Hegdeh wrote:

Also, https://www.drivethrurpg.com/ makes an absolute plethora of sourcebooks, modules, suppliments etc for all kinds of rpgs available in digital format, or print.
in fact, for the 50 USD$ you would spend on one 5e book in a store in the states, you could get a print 2e dmg, phb and a module or two (albeit the modules might be digital at that price).
also, recetly observed in my local game store...
