More than. It is a 1948 zine.

Then on review I see that you made quite the purchase indeed.  

Saw some folks playing Talisman at the NTRPG Convention.
Thought it looked interesting, talked to a couple of folks about it and was told the Second Edition was the one to get for playing.
Almost bought what I thought was a very expensive copy at a Game Store recently, but held off as it seemed to be SOOO expensive to me....

Glad I held off....

It came in today and it was MUCH cheaper than the one I saw at the game store (Even with shipping).

It looks like there is enough stuff in the box to play the game.
The seller listed a bunch of things, but by sellers count some cards were missing and other cards seemed to be extras (When compared to the box bottom where the list is).

BUT:........
Seller listed 102 Adventure cards (should be 104 per box).
Seller listed one extra Purchase Card and they were in a seperate baggie from the Adv Cards (one of them was actually one of the missing Adv Cards) and one extra Talisman card.... (one was the other missing Adv Card).
The cards are the same size, so I can see how they might get mixed up...
The set is (I think) pretty much complete....according to the list on the bottom of the box.
A few Adventure cards look to have been used for a dogs chew toy, but they are still there....

....thirty-nine Strength counters, thirty-nine Craft counters, twenty Life counters, and forty Gold counters.

Dont know how many of those items should be there as the box does not even mention them, but if a couple are missing... does it even matter?
They seem to be much less imporant than the other card types are.

No idea about whether you'll miss hypothetical absent bits, but there are component lists to be found on the much-maligned BoardgameGeek here and here.

Yes was planning to search that site today sometime.

Thanks, for the two links. That second one is truly complete down to the last detail for pieces.

But  Umnn... Why did you say the much-maligned BoardgameGeek?
I have noticed nothing but praise here for that site, which I would agree with.

Nice Steal

You stated 1990 for Ironhedge manifesto rulebook. Is your copy a later print? Since my two rulebook stated 1989.

Nice find.  I recently traded for the same boxed set but my copy is still in shrink so its good to see the contents of an open set

I will have to check the copyright date on the individual book though.  I bought the 4 books of the hedge series but only opened the Starhedge one I think and it was 1990 so I guessed that all of them were the same.

Finally got a copy of Lordly Domains.  It's the Green Knight reprint, but the price was right ($25) and the picture looked nice and minty.

I'll find out when it arrives for certain, I guess.

Geez, you're going to run out of cash if you're not careful with all these impulse buys

Yesss... at last I got them and all together*:

Do you remember my desperate pleas "If anybody had any Game Merchaindising magazines please contact me... sniff..."?

*I don't know if they are the entire run of the magazine, but I strongly suspect it.

Shipping was a bitch but, what the hell, I waited seven years    for these magazines to appear!
