(D&D) - My set is complete. (pics)

[draggar]

Today I got the expert rules set which completed my set.

[MaggieTheCat]

Those are awesome. The boxes look to be in pretty good condition, considering their age. Do you still play with the original rules?

[Plaidman]

I'm not such a fan of the new 4.0, let alone the 4.5 or DnD Essenstials.

I prefer 3.0.

But the new 4.5 uses those covers, as a throwback from the old days.

There's only one thing I can say...

Nice.

[teh_blumchenkinder]

you even have the Cat!
Nice books, tho. I have a friend who would be very jealous!

[Mytical]

*sighs* Would love to play a good game of D&D, been far too long.

It's cool you have your collection complete now though

My favorite was Spelljammer (what was that, 2E?). No limits to what can happen.

I grew up playing 1E, though. It rocked.

Yes, the cat was the hardest part to get. He is a limited edition familiar (the side of the road edition).

Yes, same here. No one here plays (well, one other person - but he never had the joy of playing with these sets or 2E). Some of us did try a game here but it didn't work out.

3E hurt the game, 4E killed it to me.

I liked the original D&D and AD&D to be honest. Had it's flaws but it was SIMPLE. Before the fire took them all, even had a DM's guide (forget which to be honest..think it was a demon holding a female and a sword???) and Fiend Folio signed by Gary Gygax (supposedly, the autograph was never authenticated). I was heart broken when it went up in flames.

I love it when things are described in gaming terms, and that's just awesome! eee kitty!

[wraiths_crono]

nice nice, but I raise you... a... munchkin set (runs to hide from goblins tossing tomatoes now)


It really is a nice set you have there.

[Mytical]

Ah yes, Minmaxers . I submit for your approval... http://www.goblinscomic.com/

Woah, 1st edition in good condition, nice! My 1E books are mangled. (given to me by my BiL, who also gave me his set of 2ndE, Final print, aka the black spined books, still in good condition)

[Gerrinson]

Nice set, draggar.

I wound up trading in my 1st Ed books a while ago, since my friend's gaming store had requests he couldn't fill and I hadn't touched them in over a decade.

For those of you that don't like 4.0 but liked D&D 3.0/3.5, have you tried out Pathfinder? Based on the 3.5 open rules and backwards compatible (takes a bit of reworking.) We switched to Pathfinder and it really is full of awesome.

I've got those, somewhere. They're falling apart, though. I probably read and re-read them front-to-back several thousand times.

I loved the Basic D&D system back in the day, but now I like more customability in the newer systems like 3.5 and Pathfinder. I like to run some oddball characters, and it keeps players on their toes when that goblin could have ten levels of fighter applied to the template.

That was first edition (technically not but we won't get into all that). It was the same set as the books with orange on their side binding (with the exception of the fiend folio). 2E and 1E were very interchangeable (Spelljammer was 2E and rocked, IMO).

I also have a Dieties and Demigods with the Cthulju. Plus,


(Yeah, that was a little expensive but worth it)

I was surprised, the Expert set also came with one of the red books (Player's guide, I think).

They started to lose me at 3E. I have the basic 3E books but they do nothing for me. Nothing beats a classic 1E / 2E game.
