[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 8385276, member: 8461"] When I first started this series back at the beginning of the year, I thought I'd be done with it by the end of March. My plan was to write a quick overview every three days or so, and get it all done as a fun little nostalgia project. Obviously, it took a little bit longer than that. That was largely due to it being a lot harder to find the time to re-read the books prior to each retrospective than I'd anticipated. Whether it was because of work, personal commitments, or other projects that I was working on, this ended up being a lot closer to a "once a week" thing, and even that was more of an aspiration than a hard-and-fast rule. Of course, the fact that I ended up writing more than I'd intended for each book contributed to how long it took, also. I enjoy reviewing things, and it was only because I'd given myself permission to be fast and loose with my coverage (there's a reason I didn't make this a "let's read" or a series of proper reviews) that I managed to keep things as short as I did. Even then, more than once I had a post balloon out beyond what I'd initially intended. Even so, I had a blast going back over these supplements! AD&D 2nd Edition was a game I had a lot of fun with as a kid, and it was a joy to go back over one of its most iconic series of supplements now. Some of the books were more enjoyable than others, and some had some serious nostalgia quality for me whereas others were comparatively recent acquisitions, but all of them were worth looking back on. And of course, thanks to everyone who took the time to comment in this thread! It's one thing to sit back and re-read an old supplement; it's something else altogether to get to discuss it and share memories with like-minded people. I hope you guys found this to be fun and maybe even a little informative; I know I did. Now, I suppose, the only question is what series of D&D books I should go over next. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
