This edition of the Greyhawk boxed set translates remarkably well to book form, was very well scanned, and if you are buying this out of any motivation from nostalgia to practical and accesible use for play today, this book will serve you well.

Further, if your're DnD historically minded, or design oriented, Greyhawk provides a fantastic glimpse into the late 1st/early second edition world of DnD. A lot of campaign designs and world building can easily be gleemed from its approach to a large city and surrounding hinterlands, and just as much can be gained in understanding the focus and interest of TSRs design philosophy and content motivations in this work.

Also, and perhaps most importantly, the series of 2 page stand alone adventure cards (which read perfectly in book form) hold up as strong examples of one session adventures that shift tone and challange across the range of early to mid character progression.

This edition of Ravenloft was very well scanned and presented in book form. This boxed set had a high degree of difficulty in translation given the amount of free standing elements that were included in its original form, but it manages to read well and work as a unified product.

Early editions of Ravenloft can be a bit dicey to talk about. For example, there’s a chapter in this book titled “Gypsies”, making it a product that was wholly of its time. But that said, this is a dense and well crafted campaign setting with strong world specific rules and practical insights into running diverse and create adventures in a setting that’s about as far away from Sword and Sorcery as you can get.

This edition does not conatin Lord Soth (The Deathknight from Dragonlance), or… I want to say, the mummy and the desert realm, but if none of that matters to you, this is an excellent reproduction that can provide a broader and more flexible approach to DnD whether you use it for 2e play, or mine it for content.
