Hey everyone,

So I've been collecting MERP for years (since the late 80's) and never really picked up the rest of the Rolemaster series.

Just got these delivered today:

** eBay auction listing blocked. Please enable cookies in your browser for this site and for eBay! **

I know they're common items but nice to have an instant collection.

Seller packed them pretty well and they are all in nice shape too.

Best regards,

Ronald

Judges Guild Lot arrived today...

Most are 1st Prints

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Other than perhaps the Character Codex, Nothing really rare or expensive.

(have seen the CC's sell for well over $40)

No issues except as noted below

Castle Book 1 - 1st Print VF

Character Codex - 1st Print VF no pages missing

Citadel of Fire - 1st Print Good (Damaged Cover)

Frontier Forts of Kelnore - 1st Print VG (Small rip top of front cover)

Gen Con IX Dungeons - 4th Print Fine (front cover folded)

Island Book 1 - 1st Print VF (dirt stain top left on front cover)

Village Book 1 - 1st Print F-VF (bent corner front cover)

Village Book 1 - 1st Print Good (Damaged Cover)

Ready Reference Sheets (Book) 2nd Ed, 3rd Print (1st printing in book form) Good (Cover Fold, cover torn, writing [stats] on last blank page)

This was my 1st copy of the 1st print RRSB

I was mostly bidding on the auction hoping to snag the Character Codex as it looked clean from the listing.

It is VERY NICE and my other 1st Print copy (not as nice) will be sold now, along with most of the other items above.

Nice little spread there.
You must be pretty much complete by now?

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

Depends on what you meant by complete...
I do not seek out to collect Judges Guild except the Fantasy Systems.
I do have some of the other systems, but not due to chasing them.

Even for Fantasy related JG: In the sense that complete (for me) is not every single printing of every different item...
For common items, I have been complete for a long time now.
For Every Printing of the more common Fantasy items... yes close to complete.

Of the less common items I am Missing:
Most of the Catalogs, partly because I have never actively chased them.
A few Journal issues (I have a list)
The first 3 issues (Including the different prints) of Dungeoneer
Issue 14 of the Pegasus Magazine (GenCon 1999)
Several of the Adventure Packs, including the Deluxe Fantasy Package...
(I do not know if anyone has one of those...)

Complete Mailing Installments... I have almost none of them.
I have only the single most common of the original Mailer Envelope Installments.
Contents, certainly... but not the Envelopes, etc.

Is this the cover you are referring to?

http://www.amazon.com/Labyrinth-Lord-Ha ... B0025UN5B4

This is the same cover my copy of Labyrinth Lord has. When I purchased it from Lulu.com a few years back I had the choice of choosing this alternate cover or the regular cover which is here:

http://www.amazon.com/Labyrinth-Lord-Da ... 0615150314

I'm not a big fan of purple so I went with the red one.

Yes yes yes, thanks!
So there's no explanation behind that cover except for the personal taste of the buyer... thanks in any case!

I received a dungeon module that I had never seen before: The Lair of the Scarlet Elite, from Gas Spore Publications (UK publication), 1982. I cannot find any info on it. It is not listed on ToT nor Afterglow.

Anyone?

Now you'll be telling us you got it for $10.

No; but the copy of Mage was.

Yes, Mage sold for very cheap (not me, I already own it, but was really tempted to bid more than my 6£...). Astonishing!

So, Ebay for this one (there is the link for the auction in the name of the module). Not for $10, but a pretty good price considering the rarity

(I'll make pics of another that I got for an excellent price soon

)

In addition to the adventure itself, there is 2 new monsters (dramite, a deep-one like; and Giant Burrower, a worm-like with 2 gigantic poisonous fangs) with D&D stats. I have to read the adventure.

Given that it's from a "Gas Spore Publications" is there any chance that it's from some of the same folks who produced or wrote for the Beholder fanzine?

*nods* 1/2 page review - generally OKish disagreeing that it's easy to change to any other system, a bit too easy (but easily upgradeable) and a bit thin for the price (presumably meaning £1 rather than £30+

)
