Is that what they do with the current 4E books?Flambeaux wrote:Assume some kind of hard-core DRM and no ability to print them off.
I imagine it would all be treated the same.

Sadly, I think you guys are right. I was hoping for print on demand.

They don't offer any electronic versions of the current 4e books (except for the content that makes it into the Character Builder and Encounter Builder programs). For Dragon and Dungeon magazines, the articles are .pdfs with no DRM or printing restrictions.Random wrote:Is that what they do with the current 4E books?Flambeaux wrote:Assume some kind of hard-core DRM and no ability to print them off.

Re: AD&D 1e Reprint Thread
Latest covers are now up on Wizard's site with product info. 'Advanced' has been added again.
They still have the page counts in the MM and PHB reversed.

I think this warrants having a beer at Valhalla afterwork with ligedog.

Re: AD&D 1e Reprint Thread
Thank goodness. I was worried the "advanced" moniker might get reassigned to something else!

You and me both. While I admit that they don't totally suck, "awesome" is hardly the descriptor I'd use.Flambeaux wrote:I had completely the opposite reaction.Odhanan wrote:Wow... these covers are awesome....

Re: AD&D 1e Reprint Thread
Design wise, it's much too busy. The central focus should be the title and such plus the illus. The border is waaaaaay overdone and detracts form the main point.

Re: AD&D 1e Reprint Thread
Considering what those covers could have looked like, I can live with this.
