Howdy All. I have finally finished my PhD and will be able to put much more time and energy into the wiki (I will hopefully graduate in March if I can time it with my leave).

One of the key contributions of the wiki is the auction tracker.

My current intention is to try to get all the 2nd edition TSR AD&D onto the wiki and into the auction tracker and to start monitoring prices. I have started monitoring MERP and some other prices again and wll be scanning for an entering auctions one morning a week.

In this regard, could members help with scans? (I have hundreds of items to scan but am away form my collection most of the time!) We maintain the principle that we only scan and put up items that we own.

Basically, I would like front and back (and contents scans for boxed sets) of all second edition TSR items not already on the wiki.

If you can help, send scans to [email protected]

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Example of Scan_Needed item

In particular, looking for scans of: Gallery: ADnD 2nd Edition Generic | Al-Qadim | Conan | Dark Sun | DragonLance Fifth Age | Forgotten Realms | Greyhawk | Monstrous Arcana | Mystara | Odyssey | Ravenloft | Red Steel | SpellJammer | Tomes

If you have a book and it's not on the respective page? Just a guess.

One comment, though. The moniker of '2.5 Edition' for the black books seems inappropriate. I could be incorrect, as I didn't pay much attention to subtitles like that back then, but didn't this get retrofit due to the 3.0/3.5 deal? Shouldn't the proper term be '2nd Edition Revised'?

but this does not work where I have put the item info in and just the pictures are missing.   Hmmmmm.

Re: 2.5 edition. I am not too familiar with this either and didn't build the page in question. I can easily change the printing name on those to '2nd edition revised'. Any authorities on the matter?

I think that is what it those products go by: Revised rather then 2.5.  Course I'd like to see mention of that in a catalog or credit page as I'm not sure they did try to differentiate these at the time of their release.

Hey there Hermit . . . I have archived scans (front and back cover) of almost every AD&D item.  Likewise, I have pics (including contents) of most box sets.



These are all ready to go - I could email you dozens in relatively short order - tell me what you need.

We maintain the principle that we only scan and put up items that we own.

Oh, and these are scans of items is used to own, but don't currently.     They are from my days of reselling on ebay.  I did personally scan and/or take pictures of each one . . . hope that wouldn't be a detriment . . .

I'll change the black covers to 2nd Edition Revised for the time being and if new info comes to light let me know.

Many thanks!!! I'll work through them this weekend. We were trying to include individual scans of contents. Depending on the size of the pictures, I may be able to crop photos like the example at ToT into separate items - if the files are small though, may lose too much quality this way.

Greyhawk scans sent.

Thanks! It will take me a few weeks to work through all that you have given me. Have finalized the Forgotten Realms accessories gallery today, but still have to build item pages.

HI Rossik. Thanks for the offer. Yes any front and back scans you can send are most welcome.
