I have a set of the clear dice as per Acaeum reference. Although mine are marked 1986 copyright not 1983 (as they are here). I am assuming that that is just an error here - although it would be interesting if anyone else has a set marked 1983...   Also, interestingly my (early 1986) set has the same product code as this item: 8006. So, this set is 2nd edition date (1995), but same product code as the 1st edition set.  Does this 1995 dice pack, effectively a v. similar reprint in the 2nd edition era of the earlier Dragon dice pack, count as a 1st edition item?

A lot of small difference shows up between the two besides the logo Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First       The Acaeum Forum Index » Collecting General   Jump to: Select a forum The Acaeum Forums----------------Collecting GeneralCollecting General - Non TSRCollecting AppraisalClassifiedsThe Acaeum Distributed Computing Project Subwebs----------------Judges GuildPlanescape  View next topic View previous topic Login or register to post new topics Login or register to reply to topics Login or register to edit your posts Login or register to delete your posts Login or register to vote in polls All times are GMT - 4 Hours
