[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9369995, member: 7635"] If we weren't part way through the anniversary year already, I think an 1e style version of Phandelver might have been a cool project. Get some retro style art, a classic 1e style cover, and maybe some blue ink maps would have been a cool celebration item. That said, there is a considerable cost in art, layout and conversion that would create a product that can only be used by a very small group of people (those with AD&D books), doesn't guide them to buy anything currently in production, and sows brand confusion to anyone who buys it thinking it's 5e compatible. All for a niche item very few people would actually use. And that's the problem with this idea: the juice ain't worth the squeeze. Maybe if they had an unfinished manuscript they could toss some art on they did for the Silver Anniversary L3 release, you might have gotten a new old edition item as a limited collector edition item. But I don't think they want to spend the resources to do that again. Hey, we got a lore book that reprinted the LBBs again. That's probably the best we can hope for. [/QUOTE]
