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.

Best version of D&D gets release date. All other editions hide in shame.

Quote from: Exploderwizard;620371These are for B/X not 1E.

Yes, but the Mystara gazeteers were really good books which went into great detail about creating specific types of kingdoms, and there was always stuff for the players in there too. I only have a few of them, but they are some of the best adventure books TSR ever put out.
Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

Yes, and they really flesh-out the cultures of Mystara and give it a unique setting feeling instead of a staple D&D trope setting.

The title of this thread is misleading. It sounded like it was about the re-release of BECMI/RC D&D. As it turns out, it was just about 2e.

You, sir, are very very lucky that didn't turn out to be a real porn site by accident.

Quote from: RPGPundit;620491My only hope is that the very same suit won't later look at the relatively poor sales of the 2e reprint and say "well, that's it, reprints are totally done now in terms of profitability!"


RPGPundit

Well, the reprints in general represent a golden opportunity for the suits - reprinting complete, laid out and edited books at virtually no labor cost. This is probably in part what is driving this whole thing.
