Published a decade after the first edition of AD&D, this second edition of the rules was a streamlining and re-presentation of the first edition. While different in many places, the core game play was little touched, so that the system is highly compatible with the previous edition.
Due to the Old School Renaissance (OSR) Movement and the rise of retroclones, sourcebooks and adventures that were not specifically published by TSR are listed under AD&D Second Edition (2e) Compatible Products group.
