Wow...Wizards Announces Reissue of Original "White Box" Dungeons & Dragons

[marianlh]

Holy crap.


Wizards of the Coast just announced it will be releasing a "premium deluxe edition" of the original Dungeons & Dragons. The MSRP will be $149.99. It's due to be released on November 19 of this year, so there's plenty of time to save up.

The set includes all three rulebooks and all four supplements:

• Volume 1: Men & Magic
• Volume 2: Monsters & Treasure
• Volume 3: Underworld & Wilderness Adventures
• Supplement I: Greyhawk
• Supplement II: Blackmoor
• Supplement III: Eldritch Wizardry
• Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes

OD&D was before my time-I started with the Moldvay B/X edition Basic Set, but I still feel a sense of "gosh wow awesome!" at this news. If this was the B/X edition, I'd even save up for it. With nine months to amortize the cost over, it works out to $16.67 per month. But I've no great interest in playing OD&D, and even as a collector I'm only interested in the editions I've played.

I've very happy for all the OD&D fans, though.
