Anyone else attending? I plan on taking some items for trade(I will also take incomplete items I have in case someone it particular needs something to complete there copy). Go to GenCon.com for details on the convention. Here  is your chance to meet the Evil Buntwire(ha ha).

I live in Indy, so I'll be going.  



Will there be a lot of vendors selling old D&D stuff, or will that come up in the auctions?



I would also enjoy meeting fellow acaeum members and would be happy to help if anyone needs information about Indy.

To answer your question, typically there are half a dozen or so vendors who sell older stuff.  Expect to pay high prices if you are looking for it, as the GenCon vendor floor is nothing more than a gouge-fest.  You may find a few things that are interesting... of course, you may also find a VG condition Deities & Demigods w/ Cthulhu... for $120!  Check out Noble Knight's booth, they are usually pretty good.  Also, look for Games Plus, a game store in the Chicagoland area.  They may be there, but I'm not sure.



As for the Indy area... any suggestions for eats around there.  I am really looking forward to eating at Shula's in my hotel, but I have no idea about after that.  Any thoughts?

There are several Green Regent Cards on Ebay right now. They seem to go for about $10.00 plus. I have bought a few and payed roughly that amount. I would like to know just how rare these are.

Not sure about the value of those cards...  I know ALOT of full sets of Series 1 went out...  if somebody had been a reasonably active member for oh, say 3 years, they probably got a full set.  So, I'm still going to keep to my theory that Series 1 is going to be relatively common.  I think that Green Regent will probably get more people into RPGA, and ultimately mean more cards going out.  $10/card probably isn't too bad for the moment.  

Honestly right now, not too many have gone up for auction, so its still rather early to tell.  I think right now alot of the "gee-whiz" bidders are driving prices up abnormally high.  At least, I hope they are...

Got some questions for the Gen Con marketplace tourists.



1. What other rare items did you spot out this weekend at either the auction or vendor floor? Any interesting Non TSR items? Any interesting Non D&D items?



2. Was there anything good at the art show?



3. What kinds of prices were there on rare auction or floor vendor items?

Bunch of RPGA and R mods (Egg of the Phoenix, etc.)



That's all I saw.

Hi Josh, were their any tolkien boardgames or tolkien related items for sale at Gencon? If so what were some of their prices? I'm interested in knowing how well they do at gencon auction.
