The subject line more or less says it all. :)

  I don't need it myself--I got my copy back in 1998 in trade for a used copy of FOR2 The Drow of the Underdark--but I know a lot of people have been waiting for this.

If you get the chance, let us know how the print quality is when you get it.

Will do. If it is anything like my copy of the Traveller Book that I got from them, the only thing that will be questionable will be the amount of overlap of the cover in relation to the text pages (it is like a quarter to a half inch).

Thanks for alerting the forum denizens to this, I'll be picking up a copy along with the DMR2 (Creature Catalog) and the GAZ books currently available in print.

heh. I just bought a  print copy of Dark Dungeons thinking the day would never come. I also made a personal promise to never buy D&D 5e until I saw RC in print again. And with RC in print again, I don't feel very inclined get into 5e anymore (except maybe for AiME). So joyous days are upon us. Now the wait begins for the rest of the GAZ-series, OD&D, Birthright and more Planescape.

I'll get my copy next month.

Dark Dungeons is worth it for some additional BECMI content not found in the RC, as well as the pseudo Spelljammer stuff. It's worth having in print, though I really need to read through it again.

5e is pretty decent. My old group had no issue getting into it and one of them was thrilled at just rolling d20 for most everything. You can totally make do with the Basic game and SRD which are free to download. I have not played AIME but I do have the Player and GM (or whatever they call it) Guide on my shelf. If I can herd cats, I would love to use it to run a game on Toril, using the AIME classes and keeping most everything else, though I think many a monster with innate spellcasting ability would be nerfed or modified.

Yupp. The flying ships stuff is nice. Full rules for Immortals in DD. Some errata or variant updates on stuff like Weapon Mastery and mass combat is also nice. So it it is very good to have even if one also got the RC/full BECMI. Fixes the skill rules a bit and not to forget putting the variant rule that all classes can progress to level 36 as a base assumption.

It was part of the plan to make the RC available since the time I was consulting. I guess it finally happened.
