For now, here's a brief run-down...<br /><br />The "adventure" portion is more-or-less identical in all the printings, other than details related to usability with AD&D vs. d20 vs. Creations Unlimited system.<br /><br />This new version...<br />- Includes various "accessory" material (I'll say more about this in the coming weeks) that was not present in the 2002 TLG/d20 version. (But is in the 2006 version.)<br />- Fixes map glitches that were present in the 2002 TLG/d20 version. These glitches didn't make it unplayable; just inconvenient/confusing.<br />- Includes full spell selections for the 10+ NPC spell casters; these were not included in the 2006 PPP/CU version.<br />- Includes one new spell that was missing from the 2006 PPP/CU version.<br />- Has been re-organized, to be more usable at the table. It has with a new, clean layout and re-rendered high-resolution maps.<br />- Has roughly 50 all-new illustrations, many of which are intended for showing the players during play. (Note that the 2006 PPP/CU version contained no illustrations.)<br />- Is a print-only product, with two of the four main maps on the detached classic-style cover. (The 2006 PPP/CU version was pdf-only.)<br /><br />If you already have the 2006 PPP/CU pdf version, and you're comfortable doing on-the-fly conversions from the CU stats (not hard), then this new version may not be compelling for you. But I tried to make sure that the new version would will still be useful, if only for the illustrations and NPC spell selections.<br /><br />Personally, I'd much prefer to run this new version because of the layout & organization improvements.Guy Fullertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034114718540912559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642291883699025551.post-23655938774814727702014-01-16T11:17:53.686-08:002014-01-16T11:17:53.686-08:00How will this edition compare to previous editions...How will this edition compare to previous editions?
