Hi,

someone know how many books this game consists of?

http://www.nobleknight.com/ProductDetailSearch.asp_Q_ProductID_E_2147363872_A_InventoryID_E_2147631832

I have the Player's guide and the Referre guide, but on Noble knight's website it seems that a "Magick spells" book exists as well, judging from the image.

thanks for your help :D

I think the first edition had three books - The Player's Guide, The Referee's Guide (Creature Catalog), and Kabal Magik Spells.  I'm not sure about the second edition.

Nice - those look like the scans that I had posted up on my website.

There is a second edition version of the Player's Guide and Spell Book.  The Creature Catalog book originally comes stapled into the Referee's Guide but is often separated if the books have been used for play.  A boxed version also has a couple character sheets and some chart sheets.

Wouldn't surprise me. Aaron's staff is not averse to nicking pictures and descriptions from other people's websites. I've never really associated the Kabal system as being overly valuable or of any real interest to the collecting community, but it's fairly uncommon in a curio' kind of way. One for the completist at half that price. Not something for most people and never at that price unless you were desperate or nutz.

There is enough interest that I ended up selling 10-12 copies a few years back.  The boxed versions are a bit more difficult to find but definitely Ebay is the cheaper alternative.

I really like this boxed set. Strangely, it is not very hard to get it for a nice price. For example, I bought one recently for a friend, to a faire price

thanks.

i'm upset because i realized that i miss the 3rd book, the one about magic. (Kabal Magik Spells)
How many pages does it consist of?

In your opinion, will i be able to play without this book?
The problem is that i can't buy it separately from the other two books, that i already own.

Can you suggest some solutions?
Is the magic book available as a pdf somewhere  to buy?

so sad...

thanks

Magick Spell book is mainly a list of spells (300). So if you have another list of spells, you can play without it.
Otherwise, you can buy a complete boxed set in bad condition, if you are not hurry.

As for the pdf, I don't know if it exists somewhere...
