So those of us who know later editions yet still play AD&D 2 - what are its draws?

[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 9332571, member: 1788"] Best version of Faerun. Lots of great lore. Oh and Dragonlance! As for the system, It's got an edge to it modern D&D doesn't. I won't lie and say it's not a bit fiddley but I find 5E to be fiddley in its own way. For example, my 5E game the players forget a lot of their powers, and feats, and racial abilties, and spells, and blah blah blah. 2E doesn't have that issue as much. And honestly, they played better (paid attention) because what they did mattered and could have real consequences. Healing potions and spells where something truly valued not just another thing on the sheet. One player even said "I feel like what I do matters". when we played 2E [/QUOTE]
