I do wonder about the North America only release... is Europe really that insignificant a market? It'd be interesting to see figures for sales of RPGs in NA vs EU...

I'm super excited about this!

I think they're just trying to keep it small. Less to lose if there's no demand for them.

Homefully, they're testing the waters for another release AND they sell well!

Yeah, let's hope so. The one thing I really wish for with all this is that they'll continue to re-publish old TSR books unmodified. I mean, who knows if they plan to re-publish any of it at all after the limited AD&D reprints, but with all the talk of "5e" / D&D Next / whatever, I have a nasty imagination of them releasing revamped versions of all the old stuff "now compatible with 5e!"... :?

Just got on my FLGS pre-order list for these books. /gleefully rubbing hands together.

Dan the man made a good point, I thought it was this thread but it turns out it was over at grognardia.

I'm not afraid to abuse and write in my LL books, but I wouldn't dream of being as rough with 1e books unless they were more permanently in print. This limited collector's stuff is for the birds.

I'd be really surprised if they did. They've put out new versions of a lot of the old modules already and it's more work to screw around with it than leave it alone and reprint.

Since at least some of the money will help the Gary Gygax memorial I will have to buy these.
