EDIT - arrived today, minty contents and packaged to the point it would have survived a thermonunclear blast it seems!!  

He's Alive!

That would be David - Harami2000. (AKA Rakeesh etc)

Huzzah for David

Wait, I never put that together ... Rakeesh is the same member previously known as Harami?

I think we need a chart of the name changes

And for only .99 cents! I know there's a Grond and Kask lurking around somewhere...I will find them, my preciousss...

Good eye  

It's a bit OT, but I've got to put this somewhere, and it IS a TSR fun find . . . .

So, Frank (exTSR) is back in town, and we're gaming in his Empyrea campaign tonight for the first time in a month.  We're in the Caves of Northending, which happen to have been immortalized (in somewhat abbreviated form) in R-3, Egg of the Phoenix.  After a good battle, we finish off eight trolls in their lair.  Amongst the remains, we find the body of a fighter with, among other items, a magical sword.  Our magic-user attempts an Identify, which earns him no information other than a "hello".    

OK, an intelligent sword.  So the fighters take stock of who has the highest Intelligence + Charisma + Level (DMG, page 168).  Lo and behold, my cleric/ranger does.  So he picks up the sword . . . which turns out to be Paramel, one of the three fabled dragon slayers of Empyrea.  Which (with different attributes) can be found on page 9 of R-3.  

(For those not versed in TSR lore, Frank is the author of the R series.)

Someone walked away with a 3.5 boxed set (and FRCS and Basic Game) for $63 bucks - nice find when you tally it as $21 per 3.5 book, and the others as freebies, and especially nice considering most of the 3.5 sets seem to be going for well over double or triple the final price of this lot.

3.5E Core 3 (MM, PHB, DMG) books are slowly but steadily increasing in value. Spell Compendium and Magic Item Compendium have gone through the roof, buth hitting $50 a copy in NM condition. The others seem to be lagging below RRP. Some of this may be regional, but it's ironic that a box of Spell Compendiums weighing 25kg is shipped by WoTC to the UK and then a hige chunk of my buyers are then paying some $70 to buy the book and have it shipped back to the USA.

There's money to be made in 3.5E hardbacks in the current market.

What is it with Canada?

Used bookstores in the Pacific Northwest have over-priced hardbacks you don't want and romance novels.
