AD&D 1E DMG and Monster Manual In PDF!

Joining the recently released PDF edition of the AD&D 1st Edition Player's Handbook, you can now get the Dungeon Master's Guide and the Monster Manual from DnDClassics. From 1977 and 1979, these books were written by Gary Gygax (thanks to Emiliano for the scoop!)

Find the Monster Manual here, and the Dungeon Master's Guide here.

These are, of course, the reprints of recent years. The original covers of these books looked like this:

Although the versions I had were these ones:

These have been coming out regularly. I wonder if jury duty is over and these releases are related.

 

[Voadam]

I doubt it would be related, they've been releasing PDFs regularly on Tuesdays, usually a bunch of Dragons and Dungeons from the 4e era plus some game books.

 

[Barantor]

I'm glad as this means you can more easily play more obscure versions of D&D with others.

Whoop Whoop, sold!

I'm excited because this means that the 2E pdf's are next... anybody have a guess as to when that might happen? This month maybe?

Will the Dungeon Bastard make fun of the Complete PDF of Elves?

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

I can't wait for the core books for 3.0 to be done... I have 3.5, and I have the 1st Ed AD&D (above)... 3.0 will round me out. (I never played 4e or 5e... just not interested enough.)

I think it will be November.

There is a chance that the OD&D pdfs are coming earlier. As far as I remember the OD&D boxed set came out earlier than the 2e reprints.
