Skeld's page

I waffled on whther to give this 4 or 5 stars. The scans are pretty good though, so I went with 5. The pages are straight, but some of the pages have slight shadowing along with sides. Also, the art tends to "bleed through" and can faintly be seen on subsequent pages. Again the text is selectable and searchable (at least using Acrobat Reader).

Aside from that, it's very nostalgic to be able to see and download these PDF's. It's fun to go back and look over these rules again after 20 years.

Gaming content aside, my rating is for the quality of the scan. The pages are straight and the text is actually searchable (not something you get with most scans). The text isn't black, but is easily readable and maps are in good condition as well.

Since my group is currently playing the Savage Tide Adventure Path, I found it interesting that the purchase includes module x1 The Isles of Dread (I don't include the original Blue Box including that, but it was over 20 years ago).

Enjoy!

I bought my Red Box in 1985 and it was my introduction to gaming. I had recently gotten a urge to revisit D&D Basic with the possibility of running my current group through a short campaign. Fortunately, Paizo has the PDF so I don't have to try and hunt down a copy on Ebay of something.

The scans are pretty good. The pages are straight and the text is easily readable. Not only is it readable, but the PDF is searchable as well (which is a handy feature). The only issue I've noticed with the scan is that some text/images from the other side of the page can occasionally be seen.
