Exactly what are you "wowing" about? The fact that someone would actually pay $10 for a cd full of someone else's Gen Con experiences, or "duct tape girl"?

The fact that someone would actually try to sell pictures of a con. It's not like there aren't a whole lotta pictures up.

Duct tape girl.. *shrug* Finding far more "interesting" things online isn't difficult

I am embarrassed to be in the same country/province as this guy. Either he's shady, laughable, or I've just uncovered a stash of rares in my own home... 8O

-DEITIES & DEMIGODS By James M. Ward with Robert J. Kuntz (TSR; May 1980)- 128 pgs. 2nd or 3rd edition (I think). Good+ copy.

5 original 1980s AD D DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS rule books | eBay

Also included is a chapter I photocopied from the first edition of DEITIES & DEMIGODS on Melnibonian Mythos (Elric of Melnibone series by Michael Moorcock). 9 pages total. This chapter was struck from subsequent editions, I believe due to copyright infringement.

Hay isn't that copyright infringement also? :lol:

I wonder if the idiot who is actually buying it realizes that he is not even getting the Cthulhu pages, just the Melnibonean ones. :wink:

That's not too crazy. D1-2, Q1, three pastels, and two commons. All look like they're in good shape, so it's high, but not creep1962 or coug level high

You can actually buy someone elses pictures on CD.

Am I really stupid or isn't picture number two basically any cyber-goth but more importantly - a "nurse" type and not a nun?

Sometimes I wish I had the guts to wear things like that, but then I remember how hot & uncomfortable rubber & pvc can be & how stupid you can look in it unless you actually are in a goth nightclub.

Mount Celestia doesn't want me and Baator's afraid I'll take over.

Almost related... *I'm* getting silly, not the description:

unquote:

"A major soloist in Don Giovanni (Disks 4-6) being the noted mezzo Susanne Mentzer, world-famous sister of the obscure RPG author of the 1980s (now a bakery manager), FRANK Mentzer!"

Anybody like Classical? It's a good set... :wink:

The Erratic Sheet- When one of these rare, magical sheets of papyrus is placed in a normal AD&D book, it transforms the book into a more rare or earlier printing of the book. Beware, 1 in 10 of these items are cursed so that they degrade the book by 1d4 condition levels.

I would hate to see what it takes to rate more than "some wear".

Looks like the first edition book, which tended to explode out of its binding. I put mine into a notebook rather than fight the trend. :cry:

Dog not included?

eBay listings

Is it just me, or does the idea of a dog sprawling all over the book kind of make you think twice about purchasing?
