If you want old D&D rules now without paying collectors' prices, you have to either pirate it or go with a retro-clone instead.Jonathan Drainhttp://www.d20source.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-7523572061046098532012-04-01T19:22:53.942+01:002012-04-01T19:22:53.942+01:00Agreed.

It just bewilders me why the company shows such a lack of imagination in inexpensively exploiting the value inherent in such a pop cultural touchstone.
