What do you want to bet that they arrive the same day, Jon?

My Bottle City arrived today. Just glad my mailman didnt try to cram it into my mailbox.

You'd think that multiple copies ordered at the same time would be shipped at the same time, but that's not my experience.

I received one of the two copies I ordered in the mail box today. Ordered both copies at the same time, on the same order, but only received one copy.

And of course, it was bent, since it seems that it was too much of a bother for RJK to stick a piece of card board in the mailer.

Six months for half of my order, and damaged to boot. Way to go Pied Piper!

Joy!!! I received my order today and despite being sent with minimal protection, both copies arrived in perfect condition.

Don't suppose there are any left for sale, are there? I'm starting to think of this as the 'Infamous' Bottle City - and here's me without a copy.

I have not seen any for sale since NKG sold its last copy. Which they somehow got several weeks before most anyone else did.

But I am sure that some will go on the E-bay soon enough and the Standard Edition Copies should not sell for much over the original price of $20.

A few days ago, I posted a Classified add here on the Forum for one of my Two Limited Edition copies and was offered $50 for it (The lowest offer of four so far). That is ONE THIRD what I paid for it. Not to mention having to wait 9 months for it to get here, I think I will hang onto it for a while longer rather than accept that offer. Two other offers were far more reasonable and I am still considering those. One was a trade and the other was for cash.

All that said, I am sure a few other folks may be willing to let go of a Limited Edition copy and many more might sell a Standard Edition in the coming months. Keep looking.

There are definitely copies of the standard edition (with the two-piece map) remaining. The limited edition - no.

My LE arrived today.

Packaging totally intact and not folded in post

My copy of the module itself though has half a dozen spine creases where everything else is near mint

Very pleased to have it really though, I've already got a SE, which is great, and yes... its a whole lot more money, but I went into this with my eyes wide open and still look forward to seeing more PPP stuff in the future .... including Arcane Treasury (which I also prepaid last summer!), not holding my breath on that one, just hopeful to see a little more of this stuff appear.

As someone who knows very little of where to start buying new, is there anybody else out there currently doing 1E AD&D style work worth a look?

Just to name two I know of. I had more sites and companies to list once upon a time, but a month back my hard drive fried and I lost everything I had.

Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg game materials are being offered through them. EGG and they (Troll Lord Games) had a long running business relationship and Castle Zagyg is actually Castle Greyhawk in disquise.

Speaking of which. Go take a look at Lejendary Adventure Games.

www.dragonsfoot.org also publishes things from time to time and is a great 1e site in general.
