Agent Cooper wrote in The history of german D&D/AD&D as I know it:I'm a bit surprised at the small RPG market in Germany. From what I've read the Germans love tabletop games, and are experiencing a surge in boardgame popularity right now. I'd assume RPGs would get a boost from that as well?Maybe the OP or some other German Acaeum member can shed some light on that.

Dresden, where I live, has one shop (and one GW store) at 500k+ inhabitants. I think Leipzig, about the same size, does not have one anymore. .

My copy matches your description of the 1st print in every way but both books an Inhaltsverzeichnis on the first page. I'm curious if the loose leaf page is different information that mine is missing or if there was a revised printing.
blackdougal wrote in The history of german D&D/AD&D as I know it:Okay, looks like I'm just missing that page then, thanks! On another note, I've got most of my BECMI and 1st edition German items listed on my site now... front and back cover scans if you ever need to make comparisons. Still working on 2nd edition and up.
