Quote from: Endless Flight;534212I don't know, but the Amazon prices for 3.5 books are outrageous. Sellers charging $480 for a "new" core rulebook slipcase set? If I knew anyone might pay for them at that price I should have bought a few for $60 back then and tucked them away for investment purposes.
Those people are grossly overestimating the value of their used books, or hoping for that one idiot in ten thousand who will pay big bucks for the copy where the Cheetos stains look vaguely like the Virgin Mary. They aren't going to sell anything.

For example, based on completed listings, that 3.5 slip case collection goes between $60 and $100 on eBay. A collection of the three core books (sans the slip case) is around $75. There are occasional outliers, but that seems to be the common going price.
Now with a Zine!

RC with errata would be nice but a special 'all in one' edition of the BECMI books (or at least the BECM books because the gold set immortals was a bit on the crunchy and nonsensical side. Still, it's been decades since I read it so I might be wrong...) would be worth a punt for a few copies. One to put on the shelf, another to put on a different shelf in case the first fell down. Two for the loft (one left out to attract the moths and another hidden from their greedy nibbling mandibles), one to leave in bubble wrap, seal in a safe and bury in the garden for safe keeping. Perhaps another to lock in a bank vault and sell in 10 years time on ebay for $10,0000,000000,00,000000 eurodollars on a buy it now.

I'm sure I've forgotten something...

Oh yeah, one to play. But I'd probably hoard that as well.

How many would actually play with these reprints rather than simply hoard and gaze lovingly at them?

Well, if I got my B/X reprints then I woould get a stack of them to play with so I could keep my originals on the shelf to gaze upon lovingly.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

Reprints would be great (for various versions), but it'd be so much easier and cheaper if they'd start by opening up PDF sales again (and pricing them reasonably).

Pretty much looking like the 3.5 reprints were a hoax. But the Dungeon board game is for real; it's on Wizards' site now.

If it was a hoax, I can't imagine who is laughing at it...except maybe the folks at Paizo ;)

That sounds weird, since the Dungeon! boardgame was the first thing that was confirmed as a hoax.

Ha! I know a FLGS that carries every boadgame imaginable I will have to drop by and see if it's on the level of Talisman. Love Talisman even though I never win.

Don't buy it unless you've money to burn. Dungeon! is not bad for nostalgia, but I don't think I ever played it once I bought Talisman.
