Quote from: monkeyfaceratboy;561169Sorry if this is a question that's been answered elsewhere, but are these simply scans of the original? Or have they been re-typeset with the original text/art? Or...?

These have been re-typeset with original art.  The font and spacing inside are slightly different.  There will be a full review on my website, very soon.

Quote from: Marleycat;561172I better check my FLGS then. Hmm...so many books so little money.

My FLGS will be FAR too expensive.

I'll wait for Amazon.ca to carry them.

Cool. Thanks for sharing!

Yay!  Now I has them too!

They look as good as you could hope for.  They seem thinner than the originals, but I suspect that's because page thickness is smaller.  And the pages are bright white, as opposed to my gray or yellowed pages in the original.  And the cover art images don't have the contrast like the originals.

Either way, they still look good.

And shit, are they beautiful.  The cover is beautiful. The cover even FEELS beautiful. They smell amazing.

More updates as I look into them...

I enjoy you geeking out.

Quote from: JongWK;561149I took a couple of pictures at Pundit's house. Not the best quality, but should give you a good idea of the books:

The mass of fur in the corner of the second picture is one of my cats.

Yes.  Open them.

Ok! You talked me into it!

I thought so. I knew I liked you for some undefined reason.

My cats help me roll the dice sometimes.

Not mine.  They learned from kittens not to fuck with my dice.

Well to be honest I don't have a huge dice fetish like many gamers. It was more a comment that any guy that can have cats is all good in my book.

I have two cats. They don't mess with my dice.

I do have a massive dice fettish. My wife just made me a D6 out of perlor beads.

Quote from: Lilaxe;561346Ok! You talked me into it!

You won't be disappointed.  The only way, for me, that this could be cooler is if they had the original covers and were copies of true first prints.  Not that these aren't awesome!

Now I wonder what Wizards does for an encore?

I think the Classic modules need a re-releasing.  Hell, sell 'em in a slipcase, all 14, charge $70.  I'd buy it in a heartbeat.  Wouldn't even have to be the pastel covers, either.  T1, A1, A2, A3, A4, G123, S1, S2, S3, S4, C1, C2, WG5, WG6...not the mega-modules, either, mind, but the individuals.

That might be a harder sell though since they "just" re-released G1, G2, G3, B2, I6, S2 (and L3!) back in '99 with the Silver Anniversary set.  Plus I think in like '98 or 2000 or so, the Tomb of Horrors boxed set had a reprinting of the original pastel covered S1 in it.  

I really hope this is proof though that if they loosen up their grip on the old stuff we will buy it.

Perlor beads? Do you mean "Pearl"? Also it's documented fact my cat rolls dice better than myself.  My group is cool with it because they are tired of rolling them for me. Maybe she's my familiar?
