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

I don't know these modules. RED HAND OF DOOM and whatnot. I don't know them, so I can't say.

Whoa. 0_0

I did not see this coming. I thought WotC would make the older rulebooks available as PDFs, eventually. But, I never thought they'd go this far.

Well done, WotC!

I will definitely be getting these books. I'm not sure where I'm going to get the money to buy them. Hmm, I do have some 4E books I'm not using. Let's see, keep the Dark Sun/Forgotten Realms related stuff and Essentials and sell the rest. It might work. :hmm:

Now is definitely the time to clear out old gaming stuff you don't play with any more - even if it's old 1e stuff! ("Dear WOTC, please accept these never-been-used MANUAL OF THE PLANES, WILDERNESS SURVIVAL GUIDE and DUNGEONEERS SURVIVAL GUIDE and the shredded remnants of ORIENTAL ADVENTURES in exchange for..."

You're so excited that you're font-voice is cracking!

I'll only get rid of those old 1E books if WotC reprints them too.

And Print on Demand of another early work from TSR can be found here -

Metamorphosis Alpha by James M. Ward

(WotC - I'd still like to see the PDFs made available again, too.)

WotC: now add AD&D 1st edition support to D&Di and I'll happily subscribe and give you my money! I'm talking Dungeon and Dragon articles, especially Dungeon adventures.

This is the best news I've heard from WotC since 1999. Bravo.

I know. I'm telling you, RHoD is good stuff. It's kind of like a sandbox. It's fairly similar to ToEE in setup, actually. It would work great if it was redesigned for 1E (minus the encounter BS and the like, as a setting/sandbox with just maps and keys and the like. You know. An actual Classic module).
