I have two RCs, one in English, and one German I recently purchased.

Still, for me at least, the single best RPG rulebook that exists, even though it has its flaws.

I think I am going to run a RC based game later this year - maybe I'll run DA2 or something like that.

The original edition is the only one I used until Blackmoor was republished in the 3.5e rule set.

Hi Moritz,
Nice to see you are here, too. I do miss having Brumm at my side in the Grim Winter game...

I have three of the titles on the list, but I'm gonna have to vote Moldvay/Cook on this. Many hours of fun back in the day with those books.

Similar to others' preferences, I had to vote for my starting set, the original Brown, instead of the one I wrote. ;>

hi frank! nice to have you here.

as there were no holmes or moldvay-versions over here in germany , you're THE MAN. till 1999 i thought the red box WAS the original d&d.

a few weeks ago a guy tried to sell the red box on german ebay with a starting bid of 130€ - apparently he thought it was the "real thing", too.

i sent him a message and he went down to 80€, then 70€...

in the end he sold it for 25€, which is not too bad, as they usually sell for 10-15€.

Since we're discussing which version we prefer, I just wanted to point out to anybody who might be in the Berkley area in California that I noticed the Mentzer version of Basic D&D over at the Half Price Books on Shattuck for $6 total for both. Looked like the books were in good shape. Would have picked them up, but I recently grabbed them elsewhere.

Immortals is usually the one that goes sky-high -- whether or not the box is included.

Go figure.
