I saw this post on Facebook a bit ago and I thought it was rather great. This guy, Vinnie Notabartolo, had taken his BECMI books and placed them all in binders. Frankly, I loved the idea. I had already done something like that for my BX books. Giving me "table" copies so I could put my boxed sets out of reach of the UV light from the office/game room. He looked great, and I wanted to do something similar. So thanks to Prime Day sales, I grabbed some binders, took out my old DriveThruRPG printouts and now I have a complete set.
I also did the backs and the spines.
I didn't get into BECMI until much later in my gaming life. I began with Holmes Basic and moved quickly to Modvay Basic/Cook & Marsh Expert and then on to AD&D. So BECMI has been a "new" thing for me. But like all recent converts, I am a zealot.
The interiors are from DriveThruRPG PDF printouts, so that is good. This also allows me to put my boxes into the lower shelves, where they are more protected from the light. Also my Masters box set is in terrible shape.
I'll add more color-coded character sheets, like I have with Raven Swordsmistress of Chaos, back when I did her stats for BECMI.
The binders are 1½" so there is a lot of room left over. I might pick some materials for each to add. I might throw in my B/X Basic and Expert into their respective binders too since I have so many copies of B/X.
The one I don't have filled yet is the Green Rules Cyclopedia Set 6.
I have an old, beat-up copy that has been missing a cover. I could take it apart and put that into the binder. Might be cheaper and easier than printing one out here at home.
I am happy to have a complete set of these.
