Thanks for the reply.

I have a 2nd ed, spiral bound (so 2nd print?), with X instead of D&D (3rd print?).

Do you remember why they would had come back to D&D in the 1st prints of the 3rd ed. before using X again? This looks definitely strange for me and I can't find any reason.

I had some nice Cthulhu finds recently, best part it was local pick-up... shipping these books is a bear

I'll be reading all summer (but only with the lights on, lol)

And, also want to say Thanks! to TheHistorian for helping me research them.

That is a very nice lot. The Orient Express seems to be in awesome condition (still looking for a copy at a "non-insane" price)

Nice looking lot. ... be careful reading Lurking Fears - Triad Entertainment used really poor glue/binding on the spine, and pages come loose very easily.

Ditto on the Orient Express box: it's pretty flimsy....

I won this the other day. It's in fairly good condition and is complete. The inside books have staple rust, but otherwise have obviously never been used.

Why do you figure no one else bid?

Common enough and usually sell for about that amount or less.
Those listed at $75 belong in the silliest price thread.
Even those listed for $35 +/- are overpriced, unless mint in the SW.

I hit Half Price Books in Tukwila, Seattle this week....on my way home from a gnarley certification test.

I bought a copy of the Avalon Hill Powers and Perils module, Tower of the Dead. It was $14.99 for a copy in reasonably good condition.

Now I can stop feeling guilty for the one I let get destroyed before I was a collector.

A nice collection of Bob Liddil stuff - I think those Rider Fantasy Creations items are great stuff and maybe a little undervalued even for their rarity. Demons and Notmen took me forever to get a copy.

Ha, yes... maybe I'll start to label all my books like that, easier to keep track :wink:

I remember this because I hesitated to buy it, but the cross put me off. I still need this version.

Every once in a while something clicks (and makes sense) when I scan through inventory of some favourite online shops. I am sure I have looked at the listing for this item a dozen times in the past over a few years and the other day it clicked. Sent airmail from the UK, took 6 weeks - thought it was lost, arrived today. The paper envelope was ripped open at both ends but the item seems complete.

DreamWorlds RPG - finally those other DreamWorlds books make sense to me too. Copyright 1987, each book is 44 pages. It looks like the Combat System was an extra add-on book so 2 items in one swoop.

Awesome. Did you buy it from Spirit Games?

Yes. I'm sure a number of people have gone through their catalog in the past and missed this too.

Hi, I picked this up recently:

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

...it is *really* interesting. Basically a competitor to Chainmail fantasy, written with plenty of imagination. It is dated 1978 but is based upon a fantasy war-game campaign dating from "early 1972"; plenty of detailed rules for fighting dragons, undead etc.. creating magic-users, casting spells, different magic items, divine intervention etc...
