Wanted - AD&D Books (the early ones )

[Tony]

I've just been looking on ebay for 1st edition AD&D books and they've shot up in price, I got mine nicked years ago but I'm thinking of turning back to them to ahve fun with the kids and friends when we got together, I just can't be doing with the new rule books so I'm after the basic rules and imagination

Anyway, anyone got any AD&D books they're happy to part with at a reasonable price?

Cheers

I'll check with a mate as he was recently trying to offload a ton of D&D, Runequest and other RPG books. I think he's also selling fome Warhammer Fantasy and 40K models if you're interested

PS - he's in Miskin so no postage charges either!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Holy cow - it is! I wonder if these are just people who will sell on again......ebay is not what it was.

I would sell you mine but I am a geek as well ;-)

I have the original D&D too!

 

[Tony]

I've got the 3.5 stuff, played through v2 but we just want the good old days back I like a few of the changes but the basic nature of the original stuff makes it quick and easy.

Appreciate that nigel

Tony I've got a load some where, actually I remember now I asked Falling Rain to sell them on ebay for me. I'll check if he's got rid of them yet, if not i'll see what I can do for you.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Never played v2 as it just seemed too many rules not enough play.....

 

[wolf man]

Tony

Falling rain still has them, he'll get them to me next Friday, and i'll know then exactly what I have.

You can have them for free, for the trouble i've caused you!!!!!

I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with them

 

[Toddy]

Somewhere.....I've got the Tunnels and Trolls stuff too.
Everway and Battledice as well. Vampire stuff and Earthdawn.
I need a clear out.

Game at the Moot?

 

[Gailainne]

You going to the Moot this year Graham?

 

[Tony]

yeah, we should game at the Moot, we did one year when Womble DM'd for us a pirate adventure, it was brill and we planned to last year but it didn't happen.

Manse, that would be cool thanks mate, let me know what you've got. Anyone else that's got things still let me know as i'm happy to try something new and it woudl be good to ahve a couple of copies of some things for the people playing.

 

[Graham_S]

Yup,
All things going according to plan, I should be there Friday afternoon.

I have a complete set in the bedroom that I was going to put on freecycle, but never got around to it.

I'll take a pic of the fronts so you can tell me if they are any use to you.

If they are i'll get them posted off to you.

Heyho ,
I know this isn't what you asked ,
But when I and friends get together now we tend to just freeform , The DM needs pen and paper to mark hp etc . Baring in mind we all grew up with 1st edition and know the style , but we have also done it with cthulhu , modern day , Pirates , ww2 etc . Part of the fun is the discussion of what skills each of us have got without the need for books/charts . And the DM can add lesser skills to you as the game progresses without having to resort to tables/lists .
Instead of dice we just pick a number between 1-100 the DM decides before hand whether high/low/middle/random sets etc are what you need . As long as the DM has a good story to tell it's amazing . especially in woods or a cave around a fire with your back to the dark .
Saying that I think I've got some really old stuff ( 1986ish ) in the attic , I'll try to have a look .
Cheers . Trev .
