That was in the "This Month's Release" schedule for Wizards.

I'm betting this is directly relivent to whatever WotC is announcing this week. Specificly, that it is a re-release of an updated 1st ed AD&D (to compete with OSRIC, C&C and other 1st ed fantasy games).

I don't think betting on Wizards self-destructing the D&D brand is a wise idea.

Hmm, and KenzerCo's license to the old AD&D materials for Hackmaster is running out, so maybe WotC realizes there is money in those old materials.

Well, I'd love to see some AD&D, but it ain't gonna happen...

The only thing I could see Wizards doing as a "re-release" would be that they re-release the players and maybe the DM's guide... but that's it... Like a reprint as a collector's item, limited edition thing.

Are we at any year milestones or anything? We already passed 30 right?

This year is the 30th anniversary of the release of the AD&D Monster Manual.

Everyone keeps saying that the market isn't right for a 4.0. Well there is a market for a 4th ed, if it is an updated version of 1.0. WotC could support both 3.5 and New1 at the same time.

I'd buy it, I'd play it, I'd promote it, I'd be a WOTC customer again.

We are coming up on 30 years since the release of AD&D, the AD&D 1e PHB was released in 1978.

Do they really need to be reprinted though? It's not like they are hard to get. At used book stores or on eBay you can get most 1e hardbacks for about $10 each.

Shrug, I'm not saying that's what it is, or that it would be a good idea...

Just saying that's all I'd be willing to accept as far a s a "re-release" of 1e... Just a possible limited edition reprint of the 1e books... as a "collector's item."
