D&D special edition books

[Altalazar]

I'm a book whore, but even I wouldn't be all that excited about 3.5E with the old covers - I mean, ok, it might be kind of cool, but it isn't like it is leather bound with gold leaf and a silk bookmark. Those books look cool and I like putting them on my shelf next to my leather bound Shakespeare and leatherbound Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I concur with Warbringer. Still have all previous editions, most of my older books even still have that first edition smell to them.... the sniff of nostalgia...

What I WOULD like to see, is a special edition book that compiles stuff into a single volume. Think DMG I+II + the DM stuff from books like ELH, EPsiH, UA etc. and even the rules specific stuff from the environment series etc. into one massive volume for the DM, similar for a huge monstrous manual with the MM I, II, III and FF and Savange Species rolled into one, and a massive player tome with the PH I+II plus race series and complete books stuff etc. put together.

That way, I'd have three massive tomes, preferably with larger pages (A3 / B3?), and several bookmarks etc. to fulfill my every gaming need, all rules updated to 3.5.

Now THAT would be cool... and the original 1E coverart, why not...

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Hell yeah!

i'd be interested but only if the interior were 1edADnD too.

 

[Shemeska]

No interest. Now if they reprinted a few OOP books from previous editions in their entirety, not just their cover art on new edition books, you'd have me. Reprinted 'Faces of Evil' and 'Hellbound' I'd give my players' firstborn for those.

Me too! And I still own pretty much mint condition 1st Edition books.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Nope, no interest at all.

Now I would buy those but not any other se.

I concur, and a Spell Tome.

I like the current cover art. If they came out with a special edition book, I might buy it, though, because of other nice features it had.

Just changing the art wouldn't make a difference for me, but they'd probably also improve the book in other ways. At least, I'd hope so.

 

[IronWolf]

No interest for me. I didn't pick up the special edition PHB and I already have the 2st edition books, so no interest.
