Fixed! Thanks Allan.





Futures Bright,

That may have been me, Ian.  Rob mentioned some general info on the various levels as part of his annotated bibliography on my site and Canonfire! @ http://www.canonfire.com/cfhtml/modules ... le&sid=125

The "Tsojcanth" level of El Raja Key, for example, was made famous in the tourney and S4 adventures.

The Machine Level was mentioned in an early issue of TD by Jim Ward, although I don't recall the issue number offhand.  

I think that Bottle City was mentioned in some Oerth Journal or Greytalk interviews/stories/etc., perhaps, but with the Greytalk Archive offline that's impossible to research at present.

I'm sure that "famous" in many cases applies to the Greyhawk community specifically rather than to D&D fandom/collectordom at large:  few folks outside of GH forums would have known of Bottle City prior to the auction, for example.

Hiya Bill! Thank you.

Oh boy, you were here, there and everywhere (loved it when the bidding on "Earth Temple of Rehpog" suddenly jumped from almost nowhere to within a few dollars of my limit, btw *g*).
Was half-wishing you'd won a few more items of that list (and not just to save my credit card), but nonetheless a good chunk of the "history" of Kalibruhn, in passing. Enjoy the reading on that! I'll try looking over your shoulders...

Oh, and btw, very belated congrats on the City of Greyhawk notes from last time around.
Can't blame you for not getting back to me on that after I discovered the "hidden secrets" therein (post-auction). That one's a gem!

Allan; good luck picking up the rest of Castle Greyhawk should EGG wish to part with that, some time...

Thanks Bill =)  

I was truthfully very surprised to win as much as I did, in particular the Castle Greyhawk levels, which I thought would hit $1500+ for sure.  (edit - not that I'm complaining, mind you ).

A few of the early items ended up going for just over what I'd bid for them (in particular the history of the development of Greyhawk essay), but I began to get worried on prices and started "letting things go" in my head (and bids) thinking that the fighting at the end for the big items would be more intense than it was.  C'est la vie

Is there any chance this could be turned into a published module or get into dungeon? Even if someone got all the manuscriipts they'd find it impossible to run it with
the same kind of vision that you could get from a finished version...

Again, anything that is not v3.5 d20 can not be published without specific permission. I know there seems to be some sort of rationalization by other members here, but you just can't go and publish a 1e module...at least not without making it some sort of bland generic fantasy rpg supplement.

Am I wrong here?

I have no idea..

But how about a free download then?  Similar to WGRX Ivid the Undying.  Also there are loads of 1E modules on dragonsfoot for example.  As long as you don't make no money out of it, I think noone is going to bother dragging you to a court.

That's of course if RJK is ok with it...

Hey Paul---

Any chance we can get a stats breakdown on the last auction, and an update for when you'll be shipping?
