>There nothing stopping a DM from using both (or something else) kinds of Kobolds.
Yes yes obviously, but the writing is what paints the default foundation. If you are talking about 2e kobolds then it is assumed by people who you are speaking to that you are talking about them from the written baseline. Else there is no need to even mention 2e at all in a thread, just ask for input or storytime about how you're doing your kobolds. Don't act on your humiliation fetish, this is a blue board.
Anyway, it also matters a lot of 2e shit is really just copy-pasted 1e material but toned down to be more safe/goofy. It's the equivalent of mcdonalds changing from using tallow to sneed oils (corporate thinking). You might as well just use the 1e info since 99% of the time it's better AND easier to read due to being more concise.
Hence the exception being for CONVERTING 2e-original (or later) stuff to 1e/B-editions/0e/retroclones/etc. As there is no baseline prior reference, consulting with other people - ESPECIALLY those who are as suffused in the pre-2e-and-related games as this thread - becomes a useful way to do it so it PROPERLY fits.
