Are you saying my work is in Dragon #37?  I didn't think they ever ran any of my stuff.

Darlene/Darla===Two different artists, Rakeesh.  

Darla, I believe I saw your fine work on another gaming product of the early 90s, I want to say it was a Palladium product. Do you (or anyone else) remember which one it was?

That would most likely be Task Force Games.  I did quite a bit for them in the 90's

Central Casting, Dungeons and Heroes of Legend, Graduation Exercize and a couple of other spot illustrations.

That makes sense, now that I remember, I sold some of the TFG items recently, I must have been flipping through and saw some illos.

Well, I have autographed 13 copies of Tabletop Warriors, and put them in the mail.

FYI, the five auction copies have been paid for and distributed, thanks for everyone who placed a bid, it really helped in deciding what to charge for these when they go onsale.  Later this month I hope to have one of the signed and numbered copies on Ebay for an auction, and next month hopefully we will get the "regular" copies up for sale, first on The Acaeum, then later in my Ebay store.  Thanks everyone!

So is signed numbered copy 001 going up for auction? Or does it already have pride of place in someone's collection?

#1 and #3 will be taken (Lane and myself).  Thus there will be only 11 copies available in this format, I believe.  Due to the process (I could only ship what I had at the time to Darla) of the 11 copies available, some are definitely in a little better condition than others, with some having the spine fading common on about 25% of the copies.  So please be aware that the first copies auctioned will be the nicer NM ones, if you wait you may or may not get a truly "NM" copy.

Four Copies of Tabletop Warriors For Sale!

Slight delay in getting the signed and numbered copies up for auction, due to conflicting schedules. Right now, I have four copies left of the “regular” copies that I am going to sell on the Acaeum only; the larger roll-out will not appear until later in the year or early next year.  As stated, four copies here, all in very slightly less than NM shape…all have one very small blemish on the front or back, or wear along the spine (lightening of the blue color all along the spine which probably indicates light or sun damage at some point of the last 25 years or so).  These are going to be $40 each, plus shipping ($6 domestic, $11 Canada, $13 overseas).  I only have these at hand right now, and I would ask anyone already having a copy to let someone else get a shot at one of these before you get a chance to buy another (should you want).  In the future, copies will sell in the $35-$45 range depending on condition; these are at least excellent if not just below NM.  If you want a “perfect” copy you might want to wait, as there are tiny imperfections on all these (but as I look, there appear to be less and less in “perfect” shape as storage and age has taken it’s toll).
First come first served with these.  By the end of the year, I hopefully will have more to offer in this shape, enough for everyone on the Acaeum that wants one. At that time we will also be auctioning the first of the signed and numbered copies on ebay (there are 13 copies in all signed by both author Lane Renfro and artist Darla Hallmark).  

Please PM me if you want a copy, thanks!

Mike B.
