Same here Bill.
Plenty of systems and publishers to collect.
And never enough money or time to get em all.

Here's a couple recent completes... Pied Piper Publishing (I'd love to see something new-old published):
Image

Lamentations of the Flame Princess (There's a review around here somewhere... I quite enjoy the products - well produced, well writted, People of Pembrooktonshire was laugh-out-loud funny):

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Yeah, Raggi's stuff is pretty good.  Technically I have everything of his as well (Green Devil Face #4 was .pdf only and I dont buy .pdf's).  I'm even a member of the Pembrooktonshire Gardening Society, which came with a certificate, a membership card, and a small lithograph type thingy.  :lol:

I am eagerly awaiting the Weird Fantasy Role-Playing Grindhouse Edition.  :D

Took a while, but finally got TM 1 through TM 5 into the collection.
What is missing?
I mean other than those damnably expensive Gazetteers that is.

Not really impressive and no picture, but finally finsihed off a complete run of Star Frontiers in shrink!  Stupid 'Bugs in the System' module ended up taking forever to find at not ridiculous price.

Yay for nostalgia!

I finally complete my AMJ module serie. It is mini-module, modules and campaigns for FRPG.  They are rather designed for AD&D although no stats are given. They have been released in the middle of 80's (1986). Some are incredibly rare, as La Rançon or the 3 campaigns. Perhaps less than 10 copies of each exist.
It took me 20 years to get them all with very active research through collectors/editors/authors.

Nice point you made Loki.

Collecting these items we enjoy as a hobby can give you tasks that take years, sometimes decades to complete.

Awesome finds.... I am totally awed.

Excellent job!  Also good that I mainly stick to English small press.  Do you have a complete set of the AMJ fanzines too (or am I thinking of a different company)?

I still not have all AMJ fanzines, "Meluzine". They are as rare as the AMJ modules. The only ones I have were obtained from H. Tournier when you got yours from him and you sent me his email.

French small press publishers have done a lot of AD&D related modules in the late 80's. Some of them are of high quality (NEF or Le Dernier Cercle modules for example). WhenI can locate the authors, I ask them to let me offer pdf of these modules. Some modules can be currently downloaded on my website
http://myvyrrian.free.fr/MedfanVF.html
two NEF modules, the Epopée FM and the Polyèdre one, for those who are interested in and can read French.
The 2 NEF modules are very good modules, especially for the context. L'Ile de Rope (Rope Island) is a very interesting background. ASAP I will try to create pdf of some others for which right owners allowed me to make pdf (2 other NEF modules and I will try to decide the author of Trégor as well). Trégor is a great background, with impressive maps (done by a specialist).

I have some other complete sets of French modules/aids from this era. NEF, Dernier Cercle, Nergal, La Compagnie des jeux de rôle, Descartes, Dragon Radieux, Polyèdre, etc.). I have done some pics for purpose. These are my favorite items in my collection. Nowadays, I guess that most of them exists only in less than 10 copies (I have the only known copy of Thierry Lacoste modules for example)
They are all from 80's (1984 to 1988)

I created a specific thread in non-TSR section.

This is complete in other ways too:

Great!

The sole difference between the 2 prints of BMG is the price on cover?

I am still wondering if Ice Tower of the Frozen Wind exists. Bill underwood said that it was created for a Con, but I didn't see any picture of it or know anyone who found one.

They are labeled 1st and 2nd print on the inside as well.  Not sure of any other differences - I haven't had a chance to read through them yet.

I'm doubtful one of these (Ice Tower of the Frozen Wind) will ever show up.  If Bill didn't have one when he was posting here then I doubt anyone else does.

Thanks for the information about printings. I guess that you emailed him to get more details. I tried as well, but I didn't get any answer.
