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.

hey guys, is there anyone who knows jpipes?

well, here's my story:

...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?

Hmmm jpipes the shiller at it again huh? :roll:

I guess because he couldn't shill anymore on Ebay with his "brothers" ID, he had to try and find some other way to screw people out of thier money.

Thanks Brian. Yet another super nice guy I've met in person through the Acaeum (so far I'm batting .1000 in that department!); hopefully we can rope him into attending the next North Texas Acaeum Meeting next year....
