Miniature D&D Books!?

[MadLordOfMilk]

I was at my girlfriend's house running a game, and her father, upon seeing the D&D Basic rulebook I'd brought, pulled out these little miniature D&D books. In the back is a regular D&D Basic Rulebook (Moldvay B/X if anyone's curious), and the mini versions are on top... the Basic Rulebook, a basic adventure, and an AD&D Monster Manual.

He didn't remember where he got these from, though Anyone know what they're called/how I can get my hands on them?

I never bought any.

I never saw the mini-sized adventures, but I did see several of the books, including a Fiend Folio. AFAIK, they were produced by TSR.

The miniature-sized reproductions were made by an Italian company called Twenty First Games under licence from WotC in about 1999/2000. There are some good pictures of most of the set here. Missing are the miniature versions of the original Dragonlance adventures, which were sold as two volumes (DL 1-8 and DL 9-16).

I've got three of the miniature boxed sets:

- Menzoberranzan
- Ruins of Undermountain
- World of Greyhawk

They're little more than novelties but they only cost me about 10 Singapore dollars each. I should have got the Dark Sun set while I had the chance but I wasn't interested at the time.

They had several of the miniaturized boxed sets for sale at GenCon. Kind of cool.... unfortunately, they only had Forgotten Realms items and I'm a Dragonlance guy.

There's some extensive information about the 21st Century Games reprints on the Tome of Treasures at Tome of Treasures :: View Forum - Dungeons & Dragons

I bought a few under the misconception they were 1/2 size (4" by 6") and thus readable. Still, I have Manual of the Planes and Unearthed Arcana sitting round my house. I once wanted to buy the PHB/DMG/MM and a micro-set of dice and ask anyone if they were up for a small game of D&D?

They are readable, if you have good eyes and lighting; if not, a magnifying glass may be in order....

Do want. Not another thing to track down, rofl.
