I'm stoked for the reprinting of 1E books, it would be nice to have a copy around that I don't have to put on gloves, open in a hermetically sealed chamber, and store deep underground away from light. Now if only they'd reprint the 1E modules....one can dream.
With 3.5 being announced, I can't help but ask, where's the 2e love? Core books, supplemental books (kits anyone?), etc.

I second this.
Would love to see some 2nd Edition stuff reprinted. Especially if they could get into some of the old boxed set campaigns!

This reminds of me of the re-issue of classic generation 1 Transformers when the new movies were released.

Have you seen the prices for From the Ashes, Greyhawk Wars, etc.? It's nuts. Just to have straight reprints - not converted - would be amazing. There's so much good source material in Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Spelljammer and more. I think with 1e and 2e reprints it would be a no-brainer.

Sometimes you can purchase the AD&D Core Rules CD-ROM used. It contains the main rulebooks in RTF, HTML, and the old Windows Help format I believe. It also has most of the Complete X Handbooks books, but not all of them. The AD&D Core Rules Expansion CD-ROM is just as useful. All of these files are on that CD-ROM too. You don't even have to install it for a wealth of information. I still have mine and use it for reference on occasion.

Same here! I preordered the 1st edition reprints as soon as they went on sale. I dont know that I will purchase the 3.5 edition reprints but I would snap up 2nd edition reprints!

Now that I think about it I already bought the 2nd edition reprints with a new cover!
My original 2E Player's Handbook was beaten up pretty badly. I think I actually went through two of them before buying the third copy, the reprint with the new cover.

2e was first published after 1978. So no, they do not need to reprint it periodically like they do 1e. It won't happen.

That doesn't make any sense. By the way they haven't reprinted first edition at all since Wizards of the Coast purchased the company. It has not been printed periodically. It is being reprint once as a special tie-in to the Gygax Memorial and also probably as a schedule filler since they aren't releasing much this year. The schedule is largely a vacuum. I have also noticed that DDI articles are pretty thin and far and few in-between nowadays. They are reprinting v3.5 (also probably as a schedule filler). If it takes too long for Next to fully develop it may even be possible they would reprint 2nd Edition as a schedule filler. I think it is less likely then the v3.5 reprints but it is possible.

Yep! Show me where to spend my money. I say rerelease them all ( editions) and then WOTC can reclaim all the lost fans and revenue as well as move forward with D&D next to unite the fanbase. They will make a killing!
