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 Reprints, I Has Them!

Quote from: Philotomy Jurament;563576Yeah, I vaguely remember some furor about it.  I didn't pay attention; I know a lot of people like the L series, but it never rang my bell.

I really loved the mini sandbox setting that came with L1. Some great locations for stuff without too much detail and lots of room to customize.

Quote from: Philotomy Jurament;563573Absolutely agree on any reprints being the originals, not "return to" stuff (or even the supermodule compilations).
If Wizards do a reprint run of early modules, they'd have to do them "just as they were", right? I mean the netz had people discussing the corebook reprints having different line breaks and such. They'd be selling to the OSR crowd, who like 'em just like we remember 'em - and I'll compare the reprint with my original just to be sure.

They got the modules in the Silver Anniversary collector's set pitch-perfect, no reason they can't do it again.*

I'd want a reprint, not a revision with changed text or updated art, if that's what you mean.  But I'm not anal about how dark the art is, or exactly what paper was used, or if they smell like the old modules did when you unwrap them, or stuff like that.  I think WotC did a pretty good job with the AD&D reprints; something along those lines would be just fine, IMO.
The problem is not that power corrupts, but that the corruptible are irresistibly drawn to the pursuit of power. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.

My books have arrived today!

I haven't had time to investigate properly yet, due to the pesky "work" thing, but they certainly look gorgeous. Possibly the only complaint I'd have from the outside is that a cardboard slipcase would have set them off perfectly, but that's nitpicking to the nth degree.

(I'm even more excited about my copy of Other Dust arriving, but that's a week or so away...)

I bet some of you would be entertained to hear I just made some progress convincing a 4E dnd group that playing 1E would be a refreshing change.

*Keeping my fingers crossed*


I have the urge to run a 1E game with the 2E non weapon proficiencies.

When are the reprint books available?

Just ordered them from Amazon!

I hope I survive the nostalgia attack when I get them in my hands!

Just curious, did Amazon list them as being in stock? Last I checked they were listed as out of stock.

I did see some 'out of stock' messages, but there were plenty of places on amazon to get the books.

I wonder if Amazon itself was out of stock but not some of the suppliers?

Beats me

The FLGS in Eugene had a set in shrinkwrap.

I was shocked by how thin they were.  I have 4 issue  TPBs of comics that are thicker than that book.

Thin, but man, is the 1E DMG full of win. So much goodness in that book.
