These are the latest PDF releases from WotC, following the Shattered Keeps map pack, the Worlds of Adventure fast-play game for AD&D 2E, the Hexagonal Mapping Booklet, and Quadrille Graph Paper. It says it comes with "The Book of Lairs," but I don't have any details about whether that's something new or an inclusion of, for instance, the Forgotten Realms 2E Book of Lairs. The Complete Starter Set was one of a series of AD&D 2E introductory sets during the mid-90s, released in 1996. This marks the first time all three have been made commercially available, and I can only hope that print on demand options will follow! Both heavily retcon the original presentation of the area as it was depicted in X9 The Savage Coast. A similar story went for both Savage Coast books, with the Campaign Setting being an integrated re-release of the materials from the Red Steel and Savage Baronies boxed sets, while Orc's Head expanded on what was available for the area. Blood Spawn was the planned Monstrous Compendium appendix for the Birthright campaign, but which wasn't published before the line folded, and was later put out as a free-to-download release on their website. In a major series of releases, Wizards of the Coast has put out pay-for-download PDFs of several old AD&D 2E products! These include The Complete Starter Set: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Game 2E for $29.99, Blood Spawn (for the Birthright campaign setting) for $4.99, the Savage Coast Campaign Setting (technically a Mystara 2E product, and also part of the Odyssey line) for $9.99, and the Savage Coast: Orc's Head accessory for $4.99.įans who perused WotC's website twenty-odd years ago might remember some of these names.
