I think he means this one:  
Tome of Treasures :: View topic - Dragonlord (1977)

Hi Mark,

I couldn't find an image (should have gone to Tome instead of Google   ), but I knew he wasn't talking about the ones I listed. I was just messing around.

Thanks - Paul

I've already written to the seller to warn him/her, after my experience with this on Amazon....

After some back and forth, the seller decided to pull the listing. What was most interesting to me was that the photocopy he had seemed identical to the copy I bought from Amazon a couple of years ago:  someone out there has been selling copies for awhile now.....

Not your typical Role Aids lot:

I'm just messing around, I knew he meant the plural.
I don't know why I have a soft spot for DragonLord. I think it might be Wee Warriors in general. Misty, Dwarven, Vamp, they are all cheesy classics.

You mean Burnwire Bros. will bid $1000 for it?  ...Oh right, you meant the title.

Mars wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Formerly on eBay:I remember a little while back the fakes of Victorious German Arms and fake Warriors of Mars were all over the place - someone on Abebooks had 10+ copies of each, they were on Amazon, etc.

dumb question here but how do you discern fakes from originals? i've wondered if some of the items I've purchased were fakes.

In this case, you can tell because of the brand new staples, cheap paper (you can see the text of the interior pages through the cover - an original would have used a cardstock) and general wear/discolouration.

In other cases, fakes are often simply black ink on white or coloured cardstock where originals have colour covers.

In other cases, you can see remnants of the scanning & reprinting process - sometimes a faint black line at the bottom or black specs printed on the cover - that represent the edge of the page or a stain or mark.  Or some black dots printed near the spine where the staples should be, etc.

In a more detailed examination, there are usually differences in paper quality and if you look at the ink patterns under magnification, there are clear differences between old printed copies and new laser printed or photocopies.

I have bought about a dozen items that I thought were originals but am now convinced they are fakes.

Great assortment of mostly non-TSR stuff ending SOON at AWESOME prices
