AD&D 2nd Edition features new rules and characters for the tabletop roleplaying game. It corresponded with important policy changes at TSR: an effort was made to remove aspects of the game which had attracted negative publicity, including mention of demons and devils, and character classes and races like the assassin and the half-orc, and to move away from moral ambiguity. The game instead stressed heroic roleplaying and player teamwork, and lowered its target age to teenagers. (wikipedia.org)
