Through Dungeons Deep: does anybody own it?

I'd like to have a copy of this book (I suppose it's the last one in my personal collection of books about RPGs) but I don't know if the $ 65 asked by an EBay seller are a rip off or the 'right' price. Does anybody own a copy of the book and he is willing to give mesome opinions... Very Happy

*meh*. $49 isn't much better, really... Sad

(You'd have to negotiate on shipping, too, since <abebooks> now stuffs foreign customers).

Sigh

Perhaps when the seller will see the light and understand that $ 65 are too much, perhaps he/she will lower the price...

Well, if your first print sale goes any higher you might be able to afford to splash out on a ($49) copy...
(Is definitely surprisingly me, that auction!)

Presume no-one else had a copy to offer at any "reasonable price"?

Me too, in a very pleasant way. There is one countryman of mine whom seems deadly bent on winning the books Very Happy

but Aneoth keeps outbidding him. Shocked

Not yet, it seems. But I'm patient - I waited for years to recover a copy of Game Inventor's Handbook by Steve Peek...

So what's the scoop on this book---is it any good? It's looked interesting, but I haven't been willing to pay a ton for it, which is what it continues to sell for, seemingly.

I read some chapters of it and I must say it's a good book, very useful in understanding this crazy games Very Happy

and explaining the various game systems of the age. More, the author is not victim of "I see all, I know all" mindset and admits - in writing "I haven't played this game so I can't really have a complete review, but my best guess is...". I really appreciate that Wink
