The Pick Up Pile. Picked Up – 18/02/24

I just took delivery of my latest ebay score. I now have the Dungeon Master Guide for AD&D 2nd edition revised from 1995.

Note the lack of “S” on the end of master. So this one is neither plural “masters” or possessive “master’s.” Thank fuck they sorted this out from 3rd ed onwards.

The first thing I noticed glancing through this after looking through the 1st ed DMG is te text size is bigger and the layout is much easier to skim. All in all much easier on the eyes. There’s some great full page art pieces in here, all with a definite consistent style which is nice. Sadly my beloved weird little guy table from 1st ed doesn’t seem to return, ah well.

I’ll get a full write up of this done at some point, but I have been thinking about the ordering of the Pick Up Pile Pondering posts. I’ve decided to concentrate on newer books first, as they are what people are more likely to be looking for reviews of, then covering older stuff like this when there’s a gap in the newer stuff.

Crap, I just realised the header image I took earlier today is already out of date.
