Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition (1989)
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)

Nostalgia is doing the heavy lifting here as this was the one I played in 6-11th grade. I still like the variety of game worlds, the player kits (though some broke the game while others were useless), and the secondary skill system (admittedly, a better version of that rule was in the not-advanced version of the game). I have no idea if this edition is playable today. I think people may overdose on smarm over THAC0 and not even try. Some jank makes this my 4th favorite D&D, but 1st in nostalgia.

I used to play this with friends during the 90's in high school. I would try my best to piss off the Dungeon Master every time. I have the power of flight right?-Yeah -Ok then I fly to the end of the game -You can't do that -Sure I can, I can fly -Not that far - I beg to differ, look at these wings - YOU DON'T HAVE WINGS - Then how am I flying dumbass? - WITH MAGIC! - Yeah, magic wings - FOR FUCK'S SAKE! You just levitate using a spell - I start singing "I put a spell on you..." - Blank stare.

What I loved about 1st Ed was basically kept for 2nd Edi Was it perfect? No. But it was wide open for DMs to create and players to explore. The essential parts of D&D still remain no matter what version you play, it's always about "ROLE" playing not "ROLL" playing. D&D is a fantasy setting that allows you to explore fantasy realms and settings as different characters who face new and unique challenges. If you want Hacking and Slashing and grinding through constant melee combat, play Skyrm.

Admittedly, I've never played tabletop 2nd edition. But I've played enough of the old computer games that I feel I can rate the rule-set. It was good, especially for its time, even though I prefer the 3E rules. AD&D was responsible for turning me on to the magic of D&D.

I've always preferred the campaign worlds of AD&D2E to the more modern stuff. They have a gravitas and verisimilitude to them that's missing from later installments.
