And whaddaya know, there is was!! It wasn't a version that was signed by Dave Arneson, but I'm not complaining. It was a little beat up, but still a solid copy. With my 15% off coupon, I paid a whopping $4.24.

Oh, and I did not expect to get the best offer -- I made one, and told the guy to wait until the auction ended, and only accept if no one had bid, but, OK -- I'll gladly take 50% off. Even comes with that big black box for D&D.

Disappointed it did not contain Ka Ge 1-4 (the seller was unaware that Issue 11 was misprinted as Issue 2; its obvious, really, the cover is all glossy whereas early issues are paper-like) but it did have Ka Ge 0 which is the hardest to find, in my experience trying so that soothed me over some. Have a lot of duplicates now, so if anyone is ever interested in Shadowrun...

You roll 2d6 for movement against a fixed board (think Clue) that can change based on the adventure (ie, hallways might be blocked off and the contents change) and then you fight stuff, win, or die. Combat is very easy -- you roll a number of dice equal to your attack and each of a certain symbol counts as a wound -- the monster then rolls its defense and each of a different symbol nullifies one of your hits; what's left over from your attack is taken from the monster's HP (wounds.) Process reverses when they attack you. There are spells (one use each per board) and magic items to find, and a book of quests (and added quests with the expansions) to play through that get progressively harder due to you retaining what you earned from before -- there are some major differences between the UK and US version as well. Its very simplistic and extremely easy to add to -- we used to have rules for playing monsters, new classes, races, equipment, quests, spells, and everything -- its like a micro RPG, in some ways.

The photo was taken with the mod in a plastic sleeve and so it kind of looked beat up. Except for some corner damage it is in Fine condition.Have not gotten the Kobold Hall yet.Martin
