And you can still purchase the adventures from the publisher:

http://www.dragonraid.net/order?p_p_id= ... oryId=1002

A little on the pricey side for a couple of them but if you are a completist you dont normally ever see them on Ebay.

According to a guy that answered the phone (number posted at web site) the box Set includes Three of the Five adventures that are available from the publisher.
Only parts 2 and 3 of the Moon Bridge thrilogy are not included; and those can be purchased together as a package at $22.95, plus shipping.
Individually those two adventures are $11.95 each.

two interesting things about dragonraid: the good guys get to roll the crystalline d10 while the bad guys roll a black d8. secondly the "lightraiders" are supposed to quote biblical passages in order to "cast" their spells.

MOURTAIR.... :lol:

Mountain of Mystery by Dimension Six.
Even with the spine looking a bit creased, the Starting price is just $5.99

Dadcaresforkids (the seller) is a member here I think... although mostly a lurker IIRC.

Easy to mistake that font... but... the cover is a picture of a giant mysterious-looking mountain.

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

That's what you think should be the clue? How about mourtair not being a word? :lol:

I'd agree. For me, a copy owned by a gaming name from the past would HAVE to have their DNA, fingerprints (and notes preferably) to make me pay way over. I wouldn't pay any more for a SW copy of anything owned by them as I would if it were owned by Joe Schmo.

I'd love even an old battered gaming book owned by Frank for instance, but I know they'll never reach the shores over here for me to pick up.

This is getting slightly off topic, but I will confess that I bought, or in the process of buying, a lot of these used modules. I assumed Frank didn't really use them, although some descriptions hinted they he did, but I liked the thought. Some of these were actually nicer than my own copies. Maybe he can sign a few? I bought one shrink item for private reasons, but I fully admit that the shrink prices were insanity. He had a few somewhat rare ones EX1, G123, I11, etc., but $100 a pop seemed like a lot of money especially for ones that typically go for $20-$30.

Doesnt look all that bad to me. Only one negative rating and that from a 15 feedback newbie that didnt get their crappy watch immediately after paying and thought that was too long to wait. :roll:

Very Rare. Small press. UK item. I think main distribution was through mailorder with a few ad spots in UK magazines. Its a good size product though.

I'm talking with the seller about Sathporte - looks like it may be missing a page. I'll update when I know more.

Seller lists it in "Great Condition" now we are learning it might have a page missing. Personally if a seller is below 98% positive feedback I stay away. This one is at 92.3% and says the item is in "Great Condition". You can tell from the pic it is not in great condition.

Well to be fair, I didnt even bother looking at the item itself. Whether it is missing a page or has jizz stains on it, I didnt pay it any mind. I was only referring to the sellers reputation. And while you are correct the majority of the time by not bidding on items that a seller without 100% perfect feedback has to offer, you also should pay extra attention to specific feedback left and not just the positive feedback percentage itself. You set yourself up for a lot more grief bidding on items from someone that has 99.7% positive feedback and 50,000 items sold than a person with 92.3% positive feedback and only 100 items sold.

Cougarrinard has a 100% positive feedback rating. Will you buy from him now?
