there is a D&D 2ed srd or monster sheets for roll20?

Hello, I'm fairly new to online gaming and roll20 in particular, but I'm already amazed from the tools at my disposal as GM. I would like to know if there is some kind of SRD for AD&D 2ed or, at least some monster sheets already done ready to be used, and/or if the staff plan to do them. I understand it is a very old system, but neverthless there are a lot of "grognards" like me out there,and for sure something like that would raise the roll20 attractiveness by quite a bit! Kind regards, Dom.

Hey Dom, AD&D 1st or 2nd edition does not officially have an SRD (this is not just lacking on roll20 but the game does not have an SRD in existence). The first time D&D licensed the idea of an SRD was in 3rd edition era, in the 2000's. Fortunately there is a helpful online monster manual rules reference for 2E, outside Roll20, I'll send a PM to link you to it. DM can keep it open in another browser window when playing online. I've found it is not necessary to have most of the monster stats imported to Roll20, as long as the DM knows and has the stats handy. My method is just to make a Token (miniature) for each monster and putting HP and AC stats on the token itself, no Character sheet needed; refer to the other site's browser tab or printed Monster Manual to study-up on special attacks, special defenses, treasure type, number appearing, and description of each monster without importing these stats to Roll20. HP and AC are usually the only stats that I actually type into Roll20 per monster. Some DM's might also want to save the THAC0, or magic resistance, as a token stat for use with macros, but personally I just roll a regular d20 and mentally evaluate their THAC0 without having that stat imported to roll20. Likewise for MR, I just roll a d100 and compare it to the MR in the monster manual. If you would like to join the AD&D 2E Tavern group, we discuss and help each other with 2nd edition games on Roll20, and it is a place to recruit and meet other players to start a campaign, <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/7880/roll2e-tav" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/7880/roll2e-tav</a>...
