TSR Am I The Only One Buying Up the DMs Guild Reprints?

[Darrin Drader]

About five years ago about 90% my classic D&D collection was completely ruined in a basement flood. Needless to say, I was pretty devastated at the time. Fortunately I had the 1E and 2E core books and some select modules on my bookshelf in my main room. Now that the reprints are available from DMs Guild, I've been spending obscene amounts of money on them. The list ot titles I've picked up are below. Am I missing anything really good? I do have Temple of Elemental Evil, Keep on the Borderlands already.

Spelljammer: War Captain's Companion
Darksun Campaign Setting
B4 - The Lost City
B5 - Horror on the Hill
Spelljammer - Under the Dark Fist
Ravenloft 1 & 2

Return to White Plume Mountain
Return to The Keep on the Borderlands

The following should be delivered tomorrow:

Well, it doesn't get more classic than the original Chainmail rules, though I'm also a fan of SJA4 Under the Dark Fist (assassinate the emperor of a space empire before he invades Toril, Krynn, and Oerth!) and The Shattered Circle (remember Frostrazor, the new sword from Return to White Plume Mountain? Here's where you meet its little brother, Icerazor!).

Well I know now where all that sweet editing money went...

Actually only about $100 of the editing money went there. The rest was from other jobs. My goal is to not spend more than $100 from any given freelance job on reprints.

I too have been buying a bunch of PoD reprints from Drive Thru RPG... but nothing at the scale you're demonstrating...

It's a pretty fantastic way to affordably fill out the gaps in your collection. I definitely enjoy them and I MAY have bought a few more than I should have. I can neither confirm nor deny this.

I'm running out of titles that they currently have available. I am impressed with the speed that they're increasing the selection though. Hopefully they'll get Isle of Dread up there soon in print.

I've started slowly buying some of the books from editions I've never played! Last year I bought the Campaign Guide to Planescape and the books of Planes of Chaos, Planes of Law and Planes of Conflict. I'm not sure what I'll buy this year, there's so much stuff! I don't think it's for play and more for curiosity.

I was never a big fan of Planescape. The art didn't grab me. Neither did the Blood War, the City of Sigil, the basic conflicts, and so on. I know a lot of people loved it, but it was a miss for me. I do like the planes in general, but I'm good to go with the Manual of the Planes.

What would be your top recommendations then for someone that started playing when 3E came out?
