If I ever get to the stage where I need to collect one of everything including all eleven printings of each 2E book just shoot me and put me out of my misery. :roll:

I think I'm going to start doing this too. Of course, I'm not a munchkin, so it'll be standard 1E fare rolled on 3d6. Now where can I pick up a copy of Rogue's Gallery? :twisted:

A lot including "Unheated Arcana". At first I didn't think it was a typo, I thought it was 3rd edition.

And from the same seller, 3-hole-punched DMG and PHB. I guess he really liked the Monstrous compendium format.

I'm thinking of getting one of those House Morbannon player characters.

Who knows! Maybe someone will give me $50 for it in 2026!

You know Mark, its generally a good idea to not be rude to the seller when requesting a Buy It Now.
