This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The folks at Goodman Games have their heart in the right place: ever since they got the JG licence, they have been doing their best to bring some of the classic modules (Thracia, Tegel Manor, Dark Tower, to name a few) back into print. I am not really a collector anymore, but some of these modules are still missing in what is left of my collection.

Can anybody here provide me with actual photographs of the reprinted modules, just so I know what I get production-wise?

Yeah, they have done some of the modules on their own, as 1:1 reprints of the originals. Those old JG modules are peculiar from a production standpoint, which I like: few colors, flimsy paper, staple binding. I'd like to see how the reprints look, just so I know if I will rather buy the PDF.

Anybody buy the "with additional content" versions?  I think Estar worked on some of these, what's the scoop, Rob?  How different are they?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

I was involved with the 3.5e versions. Wrote Badabaskor, did the maps and layout for all three. As for the new version, I recently bought Tegel Manor. The added content in that was an expansion of the temple found on the local region map as well as some commentary. I was quite happy with the purchases has my original copy of Tegel is quite battered.

The only bummer, if you could call it that, was the lack of a poster sized map. The original map is in the book just in sections. The other modules didn't have poster maps so they are good 'as is'. I didn't buy them because unlike Tegel my copies are in good shape. I will probably buy Thracia as I never owned the original.

This sounds pretty cool. They should reprint the Traveller material!

Goodman Games is a great company. My respect for Joe Goodman is ridiculously high (for professional and personal reasons)

And now they are doing re-releases of classic TSR modules with commentary, expanded material, dual stats, etc.

Never before in gaming did a company live up to its name to this extent. Bravo.

While not a reprint Marc Miller has that covered over on his Far Future website with a CD Compilation. The CDs are the best bang for the buck for obtaining old Traveller material.
