    And if so, where?

    The game is out of date, and out of print. I was wondering if there is a site out there with all of the rules on it, or possibly someplace where I can download a .pdf version of the rules or something.

    TIA

    You can find most of the books using Limewire, including one that despite an odd cover page has all 26 of the 2nd ed handbooks, complete class books, tomes, etc.
    I only found the 2nd ed Ravenloft books on a website, one that i have since lost.
    The D&D website under wizards of the coast does have some adventures free for dowload under downloads, old adventures or some such.

    You can find just about any of the books for a few bucks (mostly used) on Amazon.

    Zerox, downloading stuff that is not on Wizards website is illegal. Whereever you may find it.

    Though the practice is dishonest, it was my belief that it was illegal to offer the files for download or distribution, not to actually download them. In either case Klorox asked for how he could dowload the files and i was merely offering him an option.
    In hindsight though i'd agree with buying the used core books on Amazon as Taluntain suggested since it's far more useful to have them in print.

    It depends. With some progs you have to make the files you are downloading available for upload. And it depends on your country's jurisdiction.

    Actually I believe Abdel-Bhaalspawn (Sorry if I spelled your name wrong) just bought the core rules cd for a penny. That disk if I remember correctly has all the core books and more on it. If you can get the expansion it will provide even more books and features. ON top of the books you will get all sorts of usefulness from that cd if you need any help with 2nd ed stuff!

    Yes you can buy a CDrom with the Core Rules, but I jumped on the one I saw because it was a $0.01. Normally it goes for $45-125. I was the only person that bid on it. I have a bad feeling though it may be only a demo. But oh well.

    Edit****

    If you do a search you can find all the manuals in text format from the 2.0 and expansion CDroms. I do recommend buying the books or the CDRoms.

    I may be purchasing the CDRoms online within a month or so because I am cashing out on something. I will consider Amazon, but I have seen both CDs go for $50 together and that is what I am looking for right now.
