Erik Tenkar and many others received emails to review the "new product" over at RPGNow and the list was of four products, some of which were 2e material and none of which were these 4 modules. My best guess (based on current info) is that they're planning on releasing pdfs in support of the editions that they've already reprinted or are planning on reprinting soon. <br /><br />The possibility of print on demand for these pdfs is pretty exciting, too.

This was in 1980, while B/X was still in development.Zenopus Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069501995927451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187128942585713021.post-44594199293356462742013-01-18T12:22:32.482-05:002013-01-18T12:22:32.482-05:00Thanks for the clarification!

B2 *does* have more of a Holmes-style feel to it rather than the feeling of later modules. B3 is in a world of its own, though. I thought it odd that they're selling the green cover version rather than the original. I guess it's probably because they released the orange cover for free so many years ago.Adam Muszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046628343673308107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187128942585713021.post-79352691618351271182013-01-18T09:47:14.820-05:002013-01-18T09:47:14.820-05:00Just to clarify: the first two printings of B2 are...Just to clarify: the first two printings of B2 are for Holmes Basic (they have Dex scores for the monsters) rather than B/X. The module was revised was B/X came out.Zenopus Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069501995927451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187128942585713021.post-21840561591436999512013-01-17T19:32:55.314-05:002013-01-17T19:32:55.314-05:00Personally, I'd like a nice clean version of t...Personally, I'd like a nice clean version of the D&D Rules Cyclopedia and skip all that "Boxed Set" mess, though they'd be interesting to read, I love reading the Original Edition.. <br /><br />The definitive version of each edition is all that would make sense to me. But, heck, sell them all if you have them. People will buy them.<br /><br />(Oh, and thanks for the kind words.)Reverend Dakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589927717583694031noreply@blogger.com
