Blackmoor, does your wife want to do some contract painting work for publicity?

Maybe not for publicity but maybe for some cool trades

Bummer, I'm definitely was interested in them, $$$ were just tighter then. Did you just sell these, Stephen?? I thought that they had sold awhile ago, or is my sense of time eroding again?

Actually, I may have talked her into making more. She's at least willing to consider it. I think the problem with the last set is that they sat around in the house for so long before I sold them. Maybe she'd make another set on commission.

Well, after the holidays, if she's more willing, please do let me know, as I'm still quite interested

@ Paul: there's an update to EGG's original rules for DragonChess that used to be on the WotC site; it was written by Roger Moore, and is now hosted on CF! @ http://www.canonfire.com/cfhtml/modules ... it&lid=148
in case you'd like to dig into them a little more (IIRC, Moore's article may also address some Q&A from Letters and/or Sage Advice after DC's first appearance in issue 100).

Kudos to Axel (aia) who I have to thank for my North box set (still mint in the shrink) - A top guy - great communications and very swift as well.

HOWEVER - - now I have a problem - I've wanted this set for a while but now I have it I can't bear to take the shrink off - it's sitting on the shelf mocking me - it knows I have the WOTC download, it knows that I've read it before, it knows it's not even that great a supplement and yet it still has power over me - CURSE YOU SHRINKWRAP :evil:

Is there anyone here in the Atlanta, GA area, or who can help me via email get a proper valuation of this rare 2nd Printing BETA with the MM pages inserted?

It has rough edges from much wear back in 79 and 80, but I have kept it in plastic since then.

The only way is to sell it via auction. There is no history of regular sales.

...i bought from himhere at the acaeum a copy of "en garde" and paid 20 USD (i was told it was in fine conditions) and 10 USD (airmail letter post rate)...

...i got it after 3 months! it was shipped via surface (exactly the half of what i paid for) and it had several pen markings inside and, what worst, even on the cover!

...what should i do? any suggestion?
