At Gen Con, Goodman Games announced the second in its Original
Adventures Reincarnated series. Following on from Into the Borderlands
(which they say was their biggest ever release) will be X1: The Isle of
Dread, including the two original publications and a D&D 5E conversion.

"The first volume, Into the Borderlands, was the biggest release in the
history of Goodman Games. The reception to it continues to amaze us,
and we are thrilled beyond belief. And we are very proud to announce
that the second volume in the series is…drum roll please…X1: The Isle
of Dread! OAR 2: The Isle of Dread will contain scans of the two
original TSR publications of Isle of Dread (orange cover and blue cover
editions), plus a 5E conversion, as well as interviews with original
creators and other special features! We’ve also updated the mapping
style of the 5E edition, so it will now feature illustrated hand-drawn
maps that bring back memories of the original TSR style. Lead writer
Chris Doyle and editor Tim Wadzinski return to the project after doing
such a great job on OAR 1: Into the Borderlands. Into the Borderlands
is back in print and available, by the way, so check your FLGS or our
online store for your copy today! And Original Adventures Reincarnated
2: Isle of Dread is currently scheduled to release in November of this
year! We’ll be sure to keep you updated with news about it as it gets
closer."

The Isle of Dread came out in 1981, and was written by David Cook and
Tom Moldvay. It's one of the first examples of a wilderness adventure
(as opposed to the dungeon crawls common previously) and had the PCs
explore a tropical island replete with dinosaurs, pirates, a hidden
temple, and more.
