Quote from: Benoist;619171No OD&D and Supplements option. FAIL.

I love my own copies, but they seem like terrible candidates for premium reprints -- the production values are just so far from current standards. Even with nice leather covers, I don't think they would be worth much to anyone but a fanatical collector. They are products of a different age.

A Holmes reprint, though, I could get behind, and I'd be even more jazzed for Moldvay/Cook.

As important historical documents with limited market value, I *do* think the OD&D catalog should be given away as free, or at least inexpensive, PDFs. Seriously.

Quote from: beeber;619190yep, wish that was an option.  would be neat to see those 4 reprinted in one volume.

although the more i think about b2, it's the rose-lenses glasses thing.  had tons of fun with it when i was around 12, but it doesn't hold up.

Well, I think that knowing what I know now, I'd prevent it from turning into a straight dungeon crawl and focus more on promoting the blank slate for the entire region.  I used to skip over everything else and send groups straight to the Caves of Chaos (the "Dungeon" part of D&D, right?), but having skimmed the module since then, I think it's a great sandbox that I really never used to its fullest extent.

Quote from: T. Foster;619180This. But I'd rather see a reprint of the original, separate modules than the "super-module" version (that added a cheesy framing story and a bunch of bad art).

Yeah.  Let's see how they do with the S1 through S4 reprint (which won't, as I understand, be a mere reprint of S1-4 Realms of Horror).  I'd like to see a G1-G3 hardback followed by a D1-Q1 hardback.

YES YES WIZARDS TAKE MY MONEY OH GOD TAKE IT.

Ahem.  

Sorry.

Anyway, I'd like that more than the other items listed, although a reprinted OD&D set would be nice too (I have a boxed set and a second set of loose booklets, but a "commemorative" set would be nice too).

As to Basic D&Ds, the Moldvay/Cook rules boxes being reprinted would be nice.  Fie on the Mentzer set...RC doesn't float my boat - sorry RC dudes.

In other news WotC have rejoined RPGnow - leaked that RPGnow were told to keep quiet about it until stuff was up and announced by Wizards...

Truth or PR? You decide!

Most leaks by large corps are a calculated move by somebody.  The NDAs typically void your benefits, unemployment, severance, etc if you are terminated for violating them.  Who's going to leak something like that and get absolutely zero cred for doing so?

I'd be content if I could redownload the stuff I've already paid for.

Leaked by Morrus (unintentionally, i think) from ENworld.

Ok, so he has a reason to leak, and even a better reason to make it look unintentional.  :p

To tell you the truth, I just figured that's what happened when WotC was available again as a company you could get to, they activated the account in the database, but there was nothing to post up yet.

I looked at my "Updated products" list on RPGNow, and right at the top, dated 2013-01-15, is T1-4.

Interesting.

Quote from: T. Foster;619163Anybody voting for the AD&D Greyhawk Adventures hardcover has definitely never actually read the AD&D Greyhawk Adventures hardcover!

It's not meant to stand alone.  That said, it IS pretty bare, and anyone trying to run a campaign from that alone is in for some pain.

Quote from: Libertad;619156Remember, a vote for Rules Cyclopedia is a vote for Freedom!

I agree, but I already have most of that stuff.  I voted for the one thing I don't have - Desert of Desolation!

Yeah, reprinting the World of Greyhawk boxed set would make a lot of sense, and whoever set up this poll probably just didn't realize the difference between the two and thought that's what was being included. But, even so, it was funny to see what's generally regarded as a very bottom-of-the-barrel product from the tail-end of the 1E era on the shortlist to be reprinted

yeah, if i were to run it now, the only thing i'd change is some of the caves' populations, use a bit more dungeon-ecology-logic to it.  see who won the "war" between the humanoid factions, so to speak.  ha, "b2--the next generation" or the like.

Difficult choice.  I would have voted for Temple of Elemental Evil, but I know many are aching for the RC (I have a copy from back when it was cheap :p), so I chose that.
