Greg,
   Amen, brother, amen.  Nothing quite like playing in a game session where 
you can actually hear the wind blowing through the trees.  The sound of your 
boots crunching dried leaves on the path.  And see the clouds rolling over 
the mountains in the distance.

   I look at all these different books for AD&D2e and wonder.  So If I want 
to play a paladin, I have to buy the prestige class paladin book.  But what 
assurance does that give me thay my DM will know what is written in that 
book.  Let alone make it a flowing part of their campaign.  Or does that 
mean I get to quote rules at the GM from my book like its some kind of 
weapon or something.

  lol.  Seems to happen a lot.  I remember one system that had so many 
rules one couldn't even breath.  Ever play Aftermath?
