I got this whole lot for AUD$110 and was shocked to find that they are all well cared for and 100% complete.  The lot had a SPI War of the Rings, an ICE Battle of the Five Armies, and some excellent Avalon Hill titles including Merchant of Venus.

I liked the way the seller highlights those great items in the second pic, I've always wanted a Simpsons Battle of the Sexes game  :twisted:

Top seller!   :wink:

Yes. It has made me rethink my whole hobby. I may ditch my RPGs and Wargames and start collecting gimmicky Simpsons games from the 1990s. :lol:

I was able to find copies of The Castle of Entropy and Charibides Hall from Hess Games today for $1 each :D  They're in excellent shape and complete, including the cardboard inserts and ziplocks!  

Hopefully I'll be able to scour some other stores while I'm in the area (San Diego) over the next few days.

Hey Stephen, thanks :D and I'm glad that I found another one, as I was under the impression that they are/were a little difficult to find. Did you receive yours yet and if so, what do you think about it? I have not had a chance to review mine yet, maybe this weekend.

In addition, did you find out more about Fortress Ellendar, as I had come across some info online stating that this module and its successor were re-printed under another title from another company.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,

I've had a look through mine, and really like it.  Nice content and "feel" to it.  I wasn't aware there was a subsequent printing.  Where did you get that information?

The adventures were also published in a hardcover book called Adventures in High Fantasy by Dillow published by Reston Publishing.  The book contains Fortress Ellendar, Moorguard, Terra Ash, and Lords of Conquest.  Reston had a couple other hardcover High Fantasy books such as a rules book too.

Here's an auction for the Rules book in hardcover:

The Adventures in High Fantasy has a similar feel to it.

The other High Fantasy hardcover book by Reston that I was thinking about is called Wizards & Warriors.  It contains two solo play adventures: In the Service of Saena Sephar (the wizard) and Murder in Irliss (the warrior).

It didn't happen online, but I picked up a 1st print (confirmed thanks to some info) of Judges' Guild's Dark Tower for $17.95 + NYS tax, or barely over $20. I also purchased The Fantasy Trip books (well, just Melee and Wizard) for a combined $60, and both still had their little boxes. I think that's some good dealing. :)

1st print Iron Wind along with 4 other Rolemaster books:

Iron Wind

Free City of Haven with BIN - okay, it might not be complete, but it sure looks close to the full amount of pages from the pic.  Plus they say it was never really used and this seller let a lot of recent items go for absurdly low BINs . . . so we will see.  :)

Does anyone know a site that lists the contents of the early Rolemaster books?

I picked up this one for cheap:


** expired/removed eBay auction **


It contains the Spell Law box which I think is complete but also has an Arms Law 1st 1980?, Arms Law 2nd Edition 1982, Character Law, Claw Law 1st? (a bunch of loose bristol board sheets), and stack of weapon charts 8.31-8.74 that I don't know what they belong to.

Also picked up Merc, V&V and Champions boxed sets - all for $18 with the shipping.

Okay, I figured out the charts are for Arms Law.  The one question I do have is did Arms Law come with 2nd Edition booklet too?  

EDIT: From the website above, it looks like a 1st print Arms Law with blue cover and the table sheets match up.  But there is also a black ink 2nd Edition Arms Law too.
