First Purchase?

Agamon · Jul 31, 2011

Some old Realms, Greyhawk and Mystara Gazetteers I don't have.

I miss my Aurora's Guide to the Realms. That was my all-time favourite D&D book purchase and some bastard player borrowed it and lost it. I was so pissed at him that I made him pay for it and only found out later (when trying to re-buy it) that it was a collector's item worth three times what I asked him for it, so I never ended up getting another one.

I wouldn't mind picking up a lot of the Greyhawk stuff if the PDF's were done really nicely. The problem with selling them as PDF's, though, is that they'd probably just be crappy scans like they used to have of some older stuff. In that case, I'd pass, as I can get crappy scans for free elsewhere.

Yeah, it's have to be Aurora's Whole Realm Catalog for me too. I bought a lot of the PDFs while they were available, and this is the only one I care about that I didn't pick up, now that I can't find my paper copy.

Not a fan of pdfs, but I could use a BECMI Rules Cyclopedia for my collection.

I would love to have an archive of Dungeon on CD.

It would depend greatly upon what price they set. Not a big fan of PDFs that cost nearly the same as hardcopy.

As for what I would buy...well, I'd probably work my way through most of the main books for purposes of having a backup for my current collection.

I want PDF copies of all the Lankhmar stuff.

I think (hope) they should do app pricing (.99 cents - $1.99) on the older stuff, at least through 2e.

If they were willing to go back and redo the scans of some of the 2e Planescape material, and possibly some Ravenloft titles too, I'd be tempted to get the pdfs. The original scans were of variable quality, and not all titles were released (On Hallowed Ground for instance had no official pdf out there), but if they made better scans it would reduce wear and tear on some of the harder to get titles in my library.

That said, because of past comments and decisions they've made, they'd have to seriously -seriously- go the extra mile to get me to support them with my $ (whereas their parent company Hasbro just has to release more MLP stuff for me to throw my money at them no questions asked).

That ship has already sailed especially if they sell pdfs for more then 15 and books at full price.

Right now I'm enjoying M&M. If I ever want to get something DnD ish I'll plop down money on Pathfinder.
