Yes, we know who this is.

The guy who is selling this is Howard Dawson, a long time member of Metro Detroit Gamers. I tried many years ago to get him to sell this - he said he had a box of them! He also said he had several Quest for Fazzlewood's..

It's a new copy. He had said he had one or more.

If anyone is going to be bidding on it, you might want to find out if it is a 1st or 2nd print. I imagine it is a 1st, but..............

OK, this is wierd. I asked him two questions to determine what print this item was.

"Dear aneoth, You asked:
"How many pages does the book/module have? Are they Single sided, or double sided? Thanks, aneoth"
Hello--- There are 13 pages inside. 3 are single sided and 10 are double sided. Thanks and good luck with your bidding. Howard"

The Acaeum lists the first print being 12 loose-leaf pages, double-sided, along with a "Player Evaluation Sheet" used to score the players' performance.

And the second print as 26 loose-leaf pages, single-sided. Cardstock cover, with identical artwork to the First print.

So, what is this guy selling???

I think that either he is mistaken about 2 of the single sided sheets (And they are actually double sided), or the Aceaum has a mistaken description provided by some outside contributor.....

Or (and this is a scary thought), he has made copies of the module and forgot two of the double sided pages in his greedy rush to get the copy listed on E-Bay............

At this point I would go with the seller being mistaken, but that is very tough to justify, given that he has the module in his hands.....

BTW: I will take the over at $785......
that is if this is a first print and not a zerox copy ..........

I know it's none of my business,

But who's the FANTASY MUSEUM!
Have you seen what this eBay account has been buying, and now their after the Fazzle!

Go aneoth Go! Don't let this one slip away :!:

I've tried numerous e-mails to this eBay account just seeing if He/She/Their screen name is what it implies with no reply. I'm just curious if others are considering a like minded project.

The Burnt Brothers told me the guy who just bought their Skeleton costume, as well as winning a Paladin costume is in the works of a museum with a focus on TSR licensed products.

And I'm sure you've all perused The Museum of Role Playing Games which has many new updates. The Museum of Role Playing Games

This is amazing. I'm hoping there are others with the desire and the means to preserve our hobby. Please if you're out there contact me about your plans. I'll be happy to help with all the legal information as well as contacts required in setting up a charitable organization. Tax breaks only mean more funds for more RPG gems.

I wonder if another Fazzle will be on the block soon Howard apparently as stated has "several". We should also ask Howard Dawson to clear up the unanswered Fazzlewood questions. The number printed, 2nd print sales location, etcâ€¦

It will go for over $1,000.
With no obvious evidence to the contrary, I go under the assumption that there was NO second printing. No one I know has ever seen one, and as far as single-sided pages, it is entirely possible that some of the "1st printing" modules were double sided. If any at all were ever double-sided. It is very easy for info to get misinterpreted. Someone could have interpreted "13 double sided pages" as 26 pages.

I'm not home right now so the Fazz is not in front of me, but our copy is a little different than the Acaum description as well. It could be 10 double sided, and 3 single if my thc tarnished mind recalls. I'll open it up and post exactly tonight. Also aneoth you'll know if it's a fake, the cover as well as the all the pages where printed on a press not photo copied. You can tell by carbon residue on the pages. Dried ink doesn't smudge the same after extensive drying + the cover is a dead giveaway with dark tones in the black ink. Looks to be authentic from the eBay pic + the seller couldn't be anymore reputable having his name on the back of the module. I'd take the chance and if it does turn out to be a fake we'll pelt him to death with dice. :twisted:

I just got an email from Dawson. He is the real deal. I can't picture him, but we worked together at MDG conventions way back when. These modules are the real deal.
And, no, I did not inquire as to the number of copies he has. I did not want to sound as if I wanted any, which I do not.

Fazzlewood will go over $1K.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Not me. (This time). Maybe you should have it trademarked?
