DNDClassics Launches Today

Jan 22, 2013

We heard rumblings of this possibility at last year’s Gen Con and happily in a partnership between DriveThruRPG and Wizards of the Coast as of today over eighty classic Dungeons and Dragons adventures and supplements are now available in digital format.The launch of DNDClassics has had overwhelmingly positive reaction so far across the web (so much in fact the servers have been overloaded and the site has been experiencing downtime throughout the day) as settings like Eberron, the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Planescape, and Ravenloft return. There’s something for everyone from the 1981 “Red Box” basic game release up to 2008’s H1: Keep on the Shadowfell adventure for 4th Edition rules.

If you currently have a DriveThruRPG or RPGNow account you’ll use your same log in information to place orders at DNDClassics as well.

This certainly is good news for fans of any edition of the venerable RPG as long out of print items are once again attainable outside the secondary market. Not only can you download them but each eBook has been remastered for clarity and easy reading. The price range for the downloads is currently anywhere from $4.99 to $17.99.

The press release:

Today, Wizards of the Coast together with DriveThruRPG, is thrilled to announce the official launch of Dungeons & Dragons Classics, a new online PDF store containing classic content from every edition of D&D, including fan-favorite supplement materials and iconic adventures. A one-stop-shop for classic D&D content, DnDClassics.com offers an easy way to access and download favorite titles electronically by computer, mobile phone, or tablet (including iPads).

How does it work? It’s easy! Simply create an account and instantly gain access to a wealth of D&D titles. There are 80 titles available at launch, with smaller batches of additional titles being released on a rolling basis starting in early February. Favorite titles can be downloaded to an online Library or saved to a “Wish List” for purchase later. Most titles can also be printed. Settings can also be customized and users can opt to get email alerts whenever favorite publishers or topics get new items.
