Gotsa query for ya folks. Sorry if I missed any discussion in the search.

I have a copy of S1 - Tomb of Horrors that I'm checking for printing. I've run into a little conundrum. It either matches a 2nd printing, or a 3rd, but...

Both booklets have the "Distributed..." line above the copyright date, which in turn is centered over the logo/address. Normally, the "Distribution..." would not be there for a 2nd, but unlike the 3rd print info, the copyright date is not at the bottom right.

So, what do we have here?

Ha! It doesn't have a black cover, and doesn't say, "Player's Option," so I think that's out.  :D

These are what I have:

2nd:

3rd: (marked 2ndplus on my list for some reason, hmmm...)

and
2nd:

3rd: (also marked 2ndplus, must have been before an update to the site)

They both have one  "Distributed by" line but the third adds the second  "Distributed to the toy and hobby trade by regional distributors"  line.
I hope that helps. If yours does not match one of those please post pics.

Yep. I was indeed missing something. My mind.  :oops:  The pics tipped me off. I do indeed have a 2nd print.

Sorry to get everyone's hopes up! Or blood pressure, as the case may be.
