I was in my local game store and I saw a module/supplement that I had not seen before and have not managed to find on the Acaeum.  It was a World of Greyhawk AD&D (2nd edition, I think) Called simply "Hart".  It appeared to detail the Knights of the Hart.  It had the Greyhawk Adventures logo on the top and came with several maps of a castle on seperate sheets.



Does anyone know what this is?



Thanks

Its one of the booklets to the AD&D 2E "Castles" boxset, which detailed 3 castles:  Hart (Greyhawk), one in Dragonlance, and one in Forgotten Realms (one of the Zhentarim ones, can't remember the name offhand).  Since its only part of a box set, I wouldn't get too excited.

Thank you.



Not excited - just curious.  I had thought it was probably from a boxed set but wasn't sure which one.

Hey Sardan---



How much was it?  I don't have a copy of Castles or the Hart booklet; if it was cheap, I'd consider picking it up (if you were willing to middle-man for me?).

It didn't have a price on.  Next time I am in there I will check it out.



I was thinking of picking it up myself, I too am a Greyhawk collector, just not of your stature.  If I decide I don't want it I will be happy to act as a middle man for you.



Two caveats though:



1.  The shop's second hand stuff doesn't tend to be cheap you may do better on ebay.  I usually do.



2.  I'm in the UK so I postage may not be cheap.



I'll find out the price and let you know.

Hmm, sorry, Sardan, I hadn't realized you were in the UK.  I'll pass based on the postage costs, but thanks for being willing to help me out!  (A collector of my "stature" indeed... Wink )



burntwire:  I'd just have to open the shrinkwrap, so I'll look for a copy in somewhat lesser condition Very Happy

Hey Allan, no offence meant.



I'm a Greyhawk fan collecting Greyhawk stuff because some of the fondest gaming memories I have were inspired by the '80 folio.  The stuff you have done to keep Greyhawk alive makes you worthy or respect so don't knock it!

I think copies of Hart find their way onto eBay somewhat regularly...  I just think that alot of sellers confuse it for something ultra-rare and start it off on a $20 opening bid or something.  If you are patient you should be able to find a copy for next to nothing (thats my guess anyways).

I've actually been meaning to pick up a copy of Castles on the cheap...  what does everybody think is a good price for it?  I just want something in good condition and unpunched, though I won't complain if its shrinkwrapped.

If you're willing to pay for the shipping cost from Germany here is a current auction (not mine  Wink )
