Return of the CHAINMAIL PDF As of today, CHAINMAIL (1971) is once again available for purchase at DrivethruRPG: CHAINMAIL pdf If you purchased the pdf in the past, you should be able to download the new version for free. Per Stormcrow on ODD74, the new pdf is an improved version, clean-up and with bookmarks. From the preview, the pdf is a 3rd edition (1975), 7th printing of the rules. Theres no print-on-demand option yet, but that may be coming as WOTC has been slowly adding new titles (for example, a print option for dungeon module A2 was added this week). Holmes used Chainmail as one of his sources when assembling the manuscript of Basic. He included some rules from Chainmail that didnt appear elsewhere in OD&D, such as the Parry rule (See Part 17 of my Holmes Manuscript series).
