What did you do with your old D&D rulebooks?

[Dougal DeKree]

Ahhh, 1974!

Original D&D (1974) is the one true game. All the other editions are just poor imitations of the real thing.

...how right you are! And to think i bought all the old boxed sets plus immortal rules for about 15 bucks total...hehe.

Apart from that i only buy uneven editions - therefore i don't have any AD&D, but 3.0

Since 3.5 is a "fractional" edition there is no way i am buying it - i wait for D&D 5.0!

I sold all my 3E stuff on the net for $5/pound.

So what did you do with your old D&D rulebooks after(if) you got revised edition?

They are on eBay right now!

I recently donated all my old RPG books to 10th century China, via TransChronic Charities.

Apparently, they ended up being usedto patch a hole in the Great Wall. Held off four thousand maraudering Mongols for a week, all by themselves.

Bless those lil guys.

Apparently someone already beat you to the TransChronic Charities. Just look at all the threads about dice and gaming in ancient Rome!

I can understand that - but you seem to make the assumption that everyone reads and posts to the board every day and that there are no new posters - neither of which, I suspect, is true. So there could be lots of threads that lots of people who haven't yet seen them, and have something to say about them - just because the people who live their lives here are "done" with the topics doesn't mean the rest of the world is.

I make no such assumption, and nor am I joining the chorus of complaints. A couple of these threads have actually been more interesting the second time around (And for that matter, some are even more annoying...)

Just trying to shed some light on why people may have piled on you a bit, since you seemed not to understand why anyone would take issue with it.

Cheers!

Our group hasn´t switched to 3,5 and probably wont.
We have ALOT of 3.0 stuff and it feels like a waste to switch.
I think that 3.0 is fine as it is.

Sold them, just like I have sold every other gaming product that I no longer use.

Mine are neatly arranged on a bookshelf, along with all of my gaming stuff I've ever gotten. I never get rid of books, gaming or not. I probably have over 2,000 books in my house. Along with over 200 DVDs. (Which also look quite nice on a bookshelf). I won't get into the magazines...
