That would be much more reasonable. (Odd. After posting, that seller now has it for a bit less. Still very costly, though.)

Copy in the link says "UNEARTHED ARCANA IS OBSOLETE" which seems a bit breathless. Maybe?

I admit I found it. Paged through it a fair bit, but I think I can safely pass on this.

It does kind of remind me of some of the paste-up I did just before college, with photocopied entries from the earliest Deities and Demigods (Cthulhu Mythos) and bits from the Dictionary of Imaginary Places relevant to Lovecraft's work, with some of my own art and calligraphy spliced into it. I think I made three books, only one of which actually survived the past 30 years or so.

Zenopus wrote in This is expensive and confusing:This was put together by someone on G+ a few years back, I remember when they posted it. It is just one person's unauthorized compilation of Dragon magazine articles.

I picked one of these up. Have the PDF, seems like a handy compilation of articles I'd otherwise have to flip through many magazines to find. It'll be nice to have a hardcopy.

What is the basis of your complaint, since it is identified in the listing as a fan creation?

Trademark infringement. As per the many reports on this esteemed website.

Good to know, thank you. Might save me from myself.
