WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

I assume that these are exact reprints of the "original" reprinted versions, ie, they contain the last printed changes and errata and nothing beyond that?

It's like the Rage Virus from 28 DAYS LATER except you get excited and happy about RPG products!

Now there's a sobering mental image.

I damn sure hope so. Referential artwork on the covers is fine but no thank you I don't want anyone changing the inside contents.

As much as I like, say, Jim Lee's work on THE MAXX comic from the 90s, I don't want MARVEL to reboot SPIDER-MAN from issue 1 with his artwork and "cleaned up" story lines.

A 1e conversion of, say, Red Hand of Doom would be more useful than a reprint of ToEE in getting "new school" gamers to try 1E.

Dude, I want both! (and Red Hand of Doom for 1E could be great, I agree)

What part?Not everyone thinks paying $10 extra dollars for a shirt when only $2 of that winds up in the hands of the charity is worthwhile.

True, which is why I'm probably going to directly donate some funds to the memorial myself (should have a long time ago) because the books cost more than I can justify spending on them. However, I've seen people complain about contributory deals like this before, which doesn't make sense to me. If someone doesn't find it worth it, they shouldn't buy it. I think it's a pretty awesome thing, myself.
