I was intrigued as to whether this might be something incredibly rare. While I didn't find any direct information on it, I *did* find an item being sold on the Flying Buffalo website -- "25 computer-generated character sheets in an envelope". The price: $2.

It occurred to me that the auction is stating that the artwork on the front is by Danforth, 1977. It doesn't actually claim that the item is from 1977. I surmise that some bidder is going to get burned pretty bad here.

Thanks, Scott.

I wonder if this is actually the same set you can get off the FB website. I'm gonna order one and see. That envelope certainly doesn't look old.

I'm a huge T&T fan, but the character sheets never interested me much. $100+ is ridiculous.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

I'm surprised at the price on this one so far, since the earlier tape-bound/non-color cover edition is definitely rarer: yog-sothoth.com/cocdbdetail.php?IS=L&am ... &ID=40 vs.

Anyone know what these are worth? I have seen them before, I just don't know if that have any real value. (I just bought 1 of each btw.....)

It's true, they are hard to find. From Schick's Heroic Worlds:

The Compleat Tavern---Kerry Lloyd with Richard Meyer (Gamelords, 1981) Digest sized, 24 pages, map, cardstock sheet. "Supplement of rules and guidelines for detailing the standard tavern adventurers always seem to visit. Includes data on rates, clientele, rumors, gambling, inebriation, and brawling, with a tactical map and cardstock miniature furniture as aids in resolving brawls."

Phantastical Phantasmagorical Montie Haul Dungeon---Larry Richadson & Kerry Lloyd with Rich Reichly (Gamelords, 1982) Digest sized 40 pages. "Silly scenario; a parody of gilded hole dungeons where the illogical is the norm."

I bought one of each also...can't go wrong buying 20+ year old gaming items for 10 bucks each!

Got mine, too. And I DID buy two of them. :lol:

Did your envelop also have the cool 35th anniversary sticker on it? Pretty nice...

Isn't $100 the going price for those babies? Go ahead and make yourselves a fortune!

Mike, did you happen to receive these in the mail yet? I got mine yesterday and they are like brand freakin new.

Pretty cool. :wink:

Probably at the PO...I'll check today.

It would be nice if they could offer more cool old Gamelords stuff. I'll pay $10 each for minty copies of all the Thieves' Guild supplements!

I believe it was Kerry Lloyd's son that I had seen posted on another forum years back (sadly it seems those posts have been deleted) correcting the rumor of Lloyd dying in a car accident, cause was actually a heart attack. Also another module in the Haven series was on some editors old computer (though if it could ever be retrieved I'm not sure..trying to remember what was said at the time). The rights were sold, though interest for aquiring them was stated. Again I don't think it ever came about, or no further contact was established.
I seriously loved the whole series, and got them for cheap..especially the hard to aquire items from soem guy who had a lot of them (Haven city looseleaf, red binder with TG 1-3. And I even tried finding those posts again too.. :( also gone).

$81 for #1-10, Special #1 and a freebie Monty Haul

Was tempted to cover over the thread when Allan(?) spotted them but the lack of picture put everyone off, anyhow.
Already had the #2-5 (IIRC) in loose leaf format, so was perhaps a touch excessive just to pick up #1 in same...

Yeah, good stuff...

oh... that I haven't seen, but just spotted it on Afterglow's.
Is that a plain binder, or special for the series? *adds my list, if so*. thx!
