Or the RC for $10, as noted above. For around $10 you should be able to get a decent print copy on Ebay, at least a boxless copy?Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173759805310975320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-2008847858982472742013-07-17T12:44:18.915-04:002013-07-17T12:44:18.915-04:00I'm also curious how many people that car to o...I'm also curious how many people that car to own these books, minus maybe the Cyclopedia, don't have hard copies anyways. None of these are exactly rare.<br /><br />When I ran Moldvay last year, all the players were able to acquire the basic rulebook for between 5 and 18 bucks.

Plus, simplicity. I know that the first time I looked at the Rules Cyclopedia I was daunted by the quantity inside, having been used to my lighter basic and expert books. <br /><br />I like that they're making multiple editions of the basic rules available. They may finally have learned what Steve Jackson Games learned long ago with e23, that edition choice is good for electronic publishing.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116795932377593506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-13963800442051706412013-07-17T10:16:11.483-04:002013-07-17T10:16:11.483-04:00So you can pay $9.98 and get levels 1-3 and the re...So you can pay $9.98 and get levels 1-3 and the red box ... or you can pay $0.01 more and get the Rules Cyclopedia with levels 1-36.
