Announcement
Having researched the shipping rates in the U.S. (including Alaska) I have figured the total cost for U.S. members at $12.50(including shipping!) This is for Priority, flat rate envelope, so it will not get there overnight!

All U.S. members still wishing a copy can now simply send the payment to my paypal account [rc pinnell(at)verizon(dot)net] and I will get underway.
International members, I'll need addresses.

And...photos up ahead!

I am in....where do I send the money? (Obviously, I missed it in the above posts...?)

All copies will be unbound (loose leaf) with a cover sheet numbered and signed by me.

The price remains as stated, though individual shipping will vary, so I will need your address & payment if you haven't already sent it (PM me).

I have already printed up 3 copies. Tomorrow is another day.

Edited for update.

Also, folks, a matter has come up that concerns me. I will put it to all of you to bash about and give me your opinions.

My conundrum is, the "list" vs. the actual copies #1-15. Should those that wanted on the list receive the # on which they were placed, or get the copy# according to the time they pay?

4-5 members have already paid, and were not, necessarily, low on the number list.

How do you all feel the situation should be?

1. Recieve copy # same as "the list"?.....or
2. Receive copy # same as the order of payment received at my account?

I'd prefer the #2 slot as it was alocated when we declared interest. I've already paid, but the payment system is blind, so people don't know where they are placed, and it the undetermined shipping places the international bidders later in the list than those who can play the $12 stated in the thread.

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

PM on the way

I think that as for other limited items, the first interested guys have to be the first numbered (not just because for once, I am in the top five

)

And like a lot of us, I would be interested to bid on the original.

I agree with the sentiment so far...the list # will be your copy #.

As to the auction, I believe I have an opening bid from Ak'Ptui already--if his offer still stands. The question is, do you want an Open bidding, or in PMs?

I'd prefer an open and transparent system.
Maybe when you get a second offer, post the value of the offer, but not the name of the bidder, that way the bidder knows who he is, and the under bidders know where they stands, but as it is, I wouldn't want to throw in bids into a blind auction.

I know I am very late (was out for a couple of weeks vacation/church meet...but how do I get in this? Are there still copies available? How's it going on the bidding for the 'original'?

The copy-run is over.
The original auction is now...look up the thread at the pictures.
Please PM me with your offer. I will not disclose names in this thread, just amounts.
When I have 1 more bid I will post the current top $ amount.

I suppose we should set a time limit on the auction...how does ending 5 days from now sound? (That would be Tues. Aug 16 at 9PM PDT)

Dang it!!! Put me on back-up list.

Will ponder about bidding on the original (by ponder I mean check bank balance).

I apologize for the band width on this, but...I thought a nice big close up of the front page might be enjoyed.

Also..forgive me for being a little devil...but, you might want to notice the ending of the description to this adventure.

Yes, there were 2 sequels to this. A D4 & D5!!!
I actually completed the D4 back then, but all I have of the D5 is notes, rough maps, etc. And...NO, they are not about giants. They concern the dwarven realm/s; the castle of the good giants serving as a guard post to the world below.
:twisted:
