Just picked up a shrink-wrapped copy of the Players Guide to the Living City v2.0 from the Dragon Trove for $10. Too bad I missed out on that Procampur packet though.

Here's something kind of cool I just picked up: [picture] On the title page it states: Welcome to Ravens Bluff The Living City, Visitor Guide, Gen Con Game Fair 1994. The really neat part is that it's a numbered edition of 250. It's basically 132 spiral-bound (plus 10 loose pages) booklet... content seems mostly bland stuff. 74 of the pages are just listings of Living City PCs, 21 pages of NPCs, a magic item price list and forms, forms, forms. The only real section of noticable interest, to some, would be a complete listing of Living City tournament modules, including where (if) they have been published, what Con they premiered at and when. Covers everything from 1987-1995. That should give you tournament mod hunters 68 new things to look for... :wink:

Yes, after years at last a copy of the Basic Set published by Garden City Press, the 'paperback book' version, is mine at last for the sum of £ 11.50 plus shipping. I bought it on EBay UK yesterday. It seems quite worn out but an item complete and intact is fine for me...

Hi All,

well, after saying I dont have a woodgrain box, I dound one in the back of a cupboard whilst moving!

Its a third print, and I have vague recollections of buying it from Ebay 3 years or so ago.

How could I have forgotten??? D'oh!

Cheers,

malcolm

Malcolm,

try looking under your bed or carpet. Maybe you'll find a Tsojconth or two?

Happy collecting!

I dropped my wife off at the SJC airport today for her 10 day visit to friends in CO and MN, and popped by some game stores on the way home. Made some nice buys:

MM, PHB, FF, all bright, useful for play copies for $6 each
AH "The General" Vol 17 #1 (May-June 1980) for $2.50 (it has a pre-reg booklet for Origins 1980 in it, which was the first convention I attended)
Dungeon magazines 9, 10, 11, 15 (all NM) for $5 each
Arduin 1, 2, and 3 in G/VG condition got $4 each; this version of Arduin 1 has a white cover vs. the tan, OD&D-like covers; anyone know about Arduin's printing history? I bought these mostly for the Erol Otus artwork

EDIT: Doh! I just realized that the book probably doesn't have a cover; never mind....

Hasta!

Picked up a couple obscure items:

Realms of Myth Player's Guide. 2 copies, one signed and numbered the other with author's notes of corrections to be made in the next printing which are reflected in the signed & #ed edition. A stand alone FRP. Stormhawk Publications 1990.

Error 404 - Not found

Not an FRP but if anyone knows of someone who may be interested in this, get them in touch with me.

Officers Manual of the Karizan Empire, Red Giant Publications 1987 (second printing March 1988). Looks like a supplement for a knock-off of the Star Trek RPG. The book does not use the words Star Trek, but the images sure do look like Klingons.

Error 404 - Not found

Nice job Frank.

I need some help. It seems as though the printer made some kind of error in mine and I can't read the number of Hit Points the Black Dragon has on page 61. Can you let me know?

Later.

Not that Pharaoh. I was hoping though........

When he listed it as unnumbered, it was because it had no outside cover with the I3. I'll use it as a play module.
