Which printing of Holmes Basic would you like to see WOTC release on pdf for sale? The 3rd edition is the most corrected. The 2nd/3rd edition have monsters and artwork not found in the 1st edition, although 1 monster and three pieces of art were deleted from the 1st edition.
The 1st edition, 1st printing is the least likely since it has "hobbit" throughout.
Here's a complete list of the changes made to the rulebook from the first to last printings:

My pick is 3rd edition, since it is the most common and most "corrected". My favorite is the 1st printing but I think we should leave the earlier printings for the afficionados.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a winner for me as well - as my copy is rather weathered...

Just to be contrary: The You-Kay version!
ReplyDeleteI'd say 3rd, for the same reasons Zach mentioned. That said.. for me personally, I'd love to see a reprint of 1st since I haven't yet been able to lay my paws on a copy : )
ReplyDeleteGosh, I want a mash-up that includes ALL the art and monsters!
ReplyDeleteWhy not all of them...?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 3rd edition, but the last one to mention "chits" just... because.
