#2 EthanSental May 27, 2015 2:04:32	My copy is sitting by my bed...not that I'm playing the edition but a nostalgic feel after getting 5e books had me pull it out for fun.  I enjoyed this book and takes me back to my High school and college days of gaming with friends.

I never used the 2nd edition rules, so do not know what had changed between the original and revised. This is why I do not have a problem with the revised as that is what I have read through now. What particular things do you not like about the revised changes? I plan on house ruling the initiative system.
(Reply to #8) Ralif_Redhammer	Nostalgia’s a funny thing. The content is pretty much the same, maybe some different organizational details. But the artwork is completely different, and often inferior.   Torg_Smith wrote:

(or was it 1995?, can't remember, too lazy to check) are minimal - sections of the rules text are often identical between the two versions.   The presentation is massively different, though, and I can see why someone would prefer the 1989. To my eyes, the columns of text seem cleaner (for lack of a better word), and the blue & black aesthetic is more pleasing than the later version which adds more color. I also prefer the 3-column layout to the later 2-column layout, and the 1989 version has shading bars on tables (such as the wizard spells per level table) while the later version doesn't.   ...and I seemed to have just discovered that I actually prefer the 1989 version as well, though not by so much as to have even noticed it until just now.
