Congradulations to the winner of this....

Still the only known copy - A densely written MS, some 100 pages long, with incredibly detailed mapwork all drawn and written with one of those fine draughting pens Architect's used to use in years gone buy. I can't help thinking photos of those maps would have pushed the price higher. Seeing the hand drawn detail in the maps is like seeing all the little creatures in the title block at the top of Dungeon of the Necros.


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

I missed that one, but after I found out that the Kuroth's quest on the cover really had nothing to do with Kuroth's Quill, my passion for the title waned considerably.

Nice lot! Individually, those items could go for more than that.

I am pretty sure these were not sold in shrink (maybe someone in the UK can verify).  I remember this seller had a bunch of other items "in shrink" that were not released this way.

Hopefully it was done at some store rather than the seller doing it to hide the inside is full of highlighting, etc.

It sure looks sweet!! sharp corners, not a hint of spine wear.  Looks brand new!  I may have to open it up if it is not original

Jeff, wait, don't take the shrink off! these definitely, 100% chance came out in the shrink upon initial release. i was managing a game store/distributor at that time and i got mine straight from the source in the shrink. where, somewhat sadly, it remains to this day....go ahead and buy another one Jeff it does look cool....

Actually, it is hard to get one in such a condition. Most of times corners are well worn.
