Wizards of the Coast has launched a line of classic TSR Dungeons & Dragons modules as Print on Demand titles via DriveThruRPG and RPGNow. The initial release includes 11 titles from the Basic, 1E, 2E, and 3.5 Editions.
DriveThruRPG’s Matt McElroy told ICv2 that the initial offerings are part of a soft launch. “We’ll be releasing a few more classic D&D books in print each week.” The program will include books from every edition of the game.
