Hi,

be careful on the "GM"s.

There is a UK mag of that name which isnt worth that much.

The ones worth a bit of money was a set of SCENARIOS called GM1 - 5, of which 1 and 2 are worth dosh.

Cheers,
Malc

I was going to name him Lemon, but fruit will do.

So, how much is a Dosh worth?
Slang doesnt mean the same to folks in other areas of the world.

Contextually, dosh would appear to mean "a pretty penny" which is, of course, "a good amount of money."

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

'Twat'. Isn't that a fish?

I'm looking for a minty copy of GM1 A Flight of Eagles, and I'll just push the price up until I get sniped at the last minute by TFM or Lance. Same goes for a minty copy of Starstone, but condition really is key.

Maybe the market has been so low 'cos I've been away and not overinflating things with my excessive bidding {Remembers fondly paying $800 for an unfoldered PoVQ and $215 for a UK Basic}. I really make a loss on things sometimes just to get the PDF done.

Hey, you don't have the dark blue UK basic book from Games Workshop do you, Kiwi?

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Welcome to the Acaeum.

And I do also have the entire set of the GM modules, which I will be selling. If i can find 'em. I have a horrible feeling i may have given them away years ago with my Tunnels & Trolls stuff.

I thought that was clear from the picture er uh post. I doubt that this set will get the same result as previous newsletters. The big reason being the No1 bidder now has a set. I would be surprised if this one hits 100 pounds.

The GM magazines aren't worth much more than shipping.

You'll have to do a lot worse than that to get kicked off of here.

Such as insulting the virtue of female lemurs. That might get you kicked off.

Wouldn't female lemurs be called femurs for short?

Probably not off the Acaeum, but woe to those that say such things on Lemur Chat.

if you have starstone and its battered and holepunched. i would be interested in it, cos it will then be worth around the price i want to pay as i just want a playing copy.

Are we nearly there yet?
