[QUOTE="Warunsun, post: 5892518, member: 6688054"] Greetings While [I]Wizards of the Coast[/I] has never kept two versions of D&D in print at the same time the original company [I]TSR, Inc[/I] did. They continued to print Advanced Dungeons & Dragons hardcover rulebooks (from first edition) after AD&D Second Edition was in print. My personal copy of the [I]AD&D Player's Handbook[/I] was from the 17th printing done in July of 1990. It makes sense for Wizards to make available third edition core rulebooks (in limited quantities) if they believe that people would buy them. It could also be noteworthy if they sold out quickly. They seem to be in an experimentation phase. First the "Essential" version in cheap paperback editions (like a Savage Worlds RPG book) and a short and limited release of "boxed sets" like the Master Sets, the Madness at Gardmore Abbey, and Gloomwrought. Then the news of the First Edition limited set and a huge fan demand for it. I came across the v3.5 listing when I was looking to see how wide the First Edition re-release was becoming. It makes sense to go with 3rd edition reprints before 2nd edition because there is a huge active fan-base for v3.5 buying [I]Pathfinder[/I] stuff. If these reprints work out you never know we might see a limited print run again of the [I]Basic Cyclopedia[/I] and 2nd edition. I don't imagine that any of the reprints (including the first edition ones) will be in huge numbers. [/QUOTE]
