The original Chainmail rules - the wargame that preceded Dungeons & Dragons - are now available in Print-on-Demand on DTRPG*. You can get them in physical format for $6.99.
Chainmail is not exactly a complete game IIRC, and I'd only buy it for curiosity (and study; there are a lot of "missing links" to be found in there). The gaps in the game, however, have been filled by clones, some available for free. Delving Deeper is really cool, although not 100% faithful to the original IIRC.
I wish they had OD&D (or my favorite, Moldvay's Basic), but this probably indicates that others are coming soon (both OD&D and Basic are included in the sale - see below!)
Well, I shouldn't complain. I'm having a hard time turning my own Teratogenicon into a POD version. Layout, formatting, and print choices are a lot to handle.
(BTW, Teratogenicon is currently part of the Christmas in July Sale - thousands of titles, up to 25% off, including all of my titles!)
The good news is: it's coming soon. We've decided to start with a softcover, standard color book. B&W probably wouldn't do it justice (although I do have some good-looking B&W POD books). If there is enough interest we might try other versions too... and hopefully other books in the future (I hope you like monsters ;) ).
