Someone sold miniature versions of the 1st ed AD&D books a while back, but I don't remember who and never saw any. It would have been cute to own, though.

It was an Italian publisher, now out of business. I browsed them at a store in Rome years ago... they were cute, but so small as to be useless as gaming books.

Found this information on them:

Here is a pic of my box set, the hardcovers are about that size, maybe even a bit smaller.

We are coming up on 30 years since the release of AD&D, the AD&D 1e PHB was released in 1978.

Do they really need to be reprinted though? It's not like they are hard to get. At used book stores or on eBay you can get most 1e hardbacks for about $10 each.

Judging from the $7 price tag at Half Price books, I'll put forward there is, if anything, currently a surplus of AD&D products.

But those are used.

Who wants used when they can get their very own brand spanking new $40.00 WOTC Collector's reprint?

Right, but it seems like a lot of people think they're not allowed to play it because it's out of print and/or not sold by WOTC.

Besides, I'd like Goodman, et al. to start releasing all their modules in dual-stat format for 1e.

I'm guessing that graphic will be setting the tone for the look and feel of the DI, instead of the MTG folks' disembodied brain.

I was just about to post the same thing. It seems far more logical than a rerelease of 1E. Especially considering the graphic is computer animated.

Or at least the D&D part of Wizard's Digital Initiative (which includes Gleemax, Magic Online, and much more). Gleemax in all his green lobey glory isn't going away anytime soon . . .

That was my immediate guess, is that Wizards will be announcing their D&D online plans at GenCon, and that image is a teaser that might also show up in the real project.

Re-releasing AD&D? What are you guys smoking? Ain't never gonna happen . . . .
