D&D 1E My AD&D 1E hardback collection - what do you see?

I wish WotC and Drivethru would open the DMsGuild to this kind of thing. Or at least things made for older editions.

I also have this dream. But I think it is quite unlikely.

Yes exactly! When I was 13 I was playing 1E AD&D. These were a lot of work but they make my inner 13-year-old very happy.

40 years on, I occasionally dream of finding lost/forgotten AD&D tomes in used book stores. I remember these dreams because in trying desperately to read the books... I wake myself up.

You could print a few extra copies, and place them surreptitiously on library or used book store shelves!

Lake Geneva public library, see if you can start a rumor the way the Necronomicon card catalog entry at Yale did.

Slip one into the Gary Con charity auction.

Make sure to leave a huge note clearly stating that it is a modern production…. That won’t fake anyone out at all.

I remember the Lake Geneva card catalog area vividly (as it was circa 1985).

My grandma had borrowing privileges there, and helped me check out old Dragon and Ares Magazines I’d never seen anywhere else.

I’ve also perused Yale’s card catalogs.

I was kidding about this but the more I think about it it might be cool. If everything is above board and in the level it might be very cool.

To be above board it would need the permission of any copyright holder of any material in the book.

For a charity auction?

Yea I suppose so.

Thanks to Justin, the legal eyes of WotC are on the small publisher community. Thanks to Justin, gone are the days of Jayson Elliot using TSR as a company to put out his own stuff.

Thanks to Justin for basically ruining it for everyone by forcing WotC's hand to essentially make them come down hard on IP violations.

My point is that I would not recommend anyone even remotely doing anything IP related (well, I wouldn't anyway, but especially not now).
