I agree with what you wrote below, and I may have some fills to the missing
files below--I just want to ask permission of the scanners/designers that
rebuilt some of these files before sharing them.
However, before we start uploading a flood of files, give me a week or two to
put together a list of what we have and what we don’t--and then we can
start uploading :) Otherwise we’ll be reposting what most of us already
have from the mega-torrents from back in the day.
On a related note, it might be a good opportunity to update the TSR
collector’s guide that’s now a bit dated, an somewhat inaccurate, at
least according to Acaeum.
Thoughts?
