ok... so call me rediculous.
I have been called far worse.

I bid $75 for the Pre-Pub - Red Skull
And not because I feel I HAVE to have it (not totally anyway) but because I wish to support Robs work.

I am in for 2 copies of the second printing as well please.

On that basis of that ^ I have a home brew module that I wrote years ago, it fits into any campaign, is 1st ed AD&D and will be a one off print if anyone wants to start bidding.

As artwork of mine had been published in Pacesetter mods before, art is in place....

You weren't in hot water with me; I just didn't have an interest in the original idea. I'll happily order one from lulu.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

1) offering a print run of this to people who want it at a fixed price (like you have before) - maybe change the cover (even if it is something simple as changing the color)

2) leave this one for sale as the now "controversial" cover (limited to 1 copy).

I'm not too interested in PDFs, I get them, save them on my computer then I lose where they are. I like hardcopies so I will up the bid on the "controversial cover" to $50.

Thirded, or whatever. I would be in for a copy.

Thork, behind you 100% with whatever you decide. It's your call, anyway. No harm, no foul.

Currently not. Perhaps if the members would post-in on this subject a concensus could be determined.

I'd be happy with a PDF for use of a module this size.

£3.03 in the UK plus shipping here. This isn't a limited amount of printing though is it?

$80 was enough, but $100 puts you far in the lead.

Bump to $125. I respect the way this controversy has been handled by everyone on the forum/post. It's worth the bid to encourage such civilized discourse... and the module looks awesome too.

Wow, fellas.
I'm getting a bit nervous, right now.
The text is only 4 pages, with 8 for maps.
Very sandboxy, minimal stats. No art.
Please keep all that in mind.

What drives a one off product as this?

Is it the quality of the author who has produced decent goods before?

Or is it the unique pre-pub edition? Because we can all buy this right now for $8, which in itself is high for something with so little content, when compared to the DCCRPG Appendix N items etc.

If this were a B1 pre-pub, or something similar, I'd get it. Even Pacesetter or Burntwire Bros items don't fetch this!?

It is a response to the backlash:

"This is just a greedy cash grab!"
"No it's not, in fact, this is well worth $100 plus!"

So there is no basis to it then?
