Indulge in RPG Nostalgia at DnDClassics.com
February 8, 2013 by dracs
For those of you who hanker after the classic days of Dungeons and Dragons I have good news as Wizards of the Coast have set up an online archive filled with all those out of print rule sets and supplements. www.dndclassics.com
The site offers pdfs from all the previous editions of DnD, whether you're after the rule systems that you grew up laying or a classic adventure you want to use.
Now speaking as someone relatively new to DnD I am excited by this as it will allow me to see where this great game evolved from. I am also used to hearing older gamers wax lyrical about previous editions as if they were pieces of astounding art, so I'm looking forward to seeing just how much these classics deserve this level of praise.
Will any of you be looking for your childhood memories on dndclassic.com?

I love 2nd ed. Play it regularly. Nothing beats owning a physical copy of the books, but honestly, at those prices I really can’t say no. Nice find Sam!
They are only selling the .pdfs not the physical copies.
Ohhh this is good.
Waaaa no birthright
God I used to freaking love 2nd Edition.
Spent years playing it.
That is – untill a so called mate borrowed about £500 worth of stuff on the pretense of running a campaign. Selling them all and then denying i’d ever lent them to him.
Needless to say, he didn’t stay a mate. BASTARD!
The first game I ever played…
Almost litterally. I’m a second generation geek, my parents gamed, and so did my older brother.
I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t some campaign going on at home !
Good times… 🙂
That’s where it all began for me. Now I’m up to my eyeballs with models. Go figure 😛
@dracs you might even see what some of the classic look like 😉
Good find best hangover game there ever was – you can cook up PC and a campaign in an hour or less … get some recovery brews …. and miss school … misspend youth ? – It where brilliant 🙂
We still play 1st Edition AD&D. For one, I invested a ton of money in the books, then 2nd Edition came out. When we saw it was a massive overhaul, we just stuck with what we had, changed what we didn’t like on the fly, and kept going. We still play the original Battlesystem as well. It was a bit cumbersome, but we’ve played so often we can fly through the tables now. Again, we changed what didn’t work.
