Mentzer Basic is now available on dndclassics.com. Two pdfs, one for Players book and one for DM's. If you buy either one, there's also a coupon for 50% off a B-series adventure. I'd imagine the rest of BECMI will follow in the coming weeks. So we've got the revisions (Moldvay and Mentzer) but are still waiting for the original Basic!

DrowningMan on DF reports: "Pdf quality is much better than the previous one, but some illustrations got too dark (i.e. pages 22 and 23 from PHB)"
ReplyDeleteany advantage to getting these now that the RC is available?
ReplyDeleteThere's some neat content by Mentzer: a solo introductory adventure in the Player's book, and an introductory GM adventure in the DM book. Only if you are partial to that kind of stuff. You can see the first few pages of each in the sample files.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you want just the Menzter introductory DM adventure, Wizards still has it up on the site as a free download (albeit a poor scan):

It's generally called Mistamere Castle. Bargle appears for the first time in these adventures.
Thanks Zach...that's very kind of you!
