Or, they have collectible copies and play copies which could contribute to the collection. Or maybe they just have a condition called "collectoritis," which is the materialistic condition afflicitng many of the members here where one must keep getting more and more stuff.....I don't know what's going on, but it was fun guessing.

Many are different prints of course but lots of duplicates as well. I have so much stuff that is extra it is overwhelming, it is getting sorted though

The books and modules are practically worthless here in the UK, fetching less than the cost of postage on eBay, but as a beginning player, they are pretty invaluable. I could run a campaign for years based solely on what is contained in those two books.I could sell my entire collection if I had to, but I don't think my collection would ever drop below Moldvay Basic & Expert.

Instead, our group used a really weird hybrid of OD&D & Metamorphosis Alpha before we finally switched over to 1E.But from lurking around on a few other message boards there's obviously a tremendous sentiment for the B/X sets.Maybe I should set up a game with my kids (now that they're old enough) using just those.
