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.

That first price seems high for just the softcover  rulebook by itself (without box, map, silhouette counters, etc.)but the price for the 3rd edition hardcover is about average.

The first one's part of the 1st edition Call of Cthulhu boxed set.

If it's got an "errata and additions" printed on the inside back cover, then it's from a second printing set.  If it doesn't, it's from a first.

Prices are very high... $30 is for a complete 1st ed boxed set in VG shape.
and you can find the 3rd HB UK edition for 1-5£ in UK, I bought mine for 0.99... and with the new USPS prices, it is more interesting to buy in Europe...

I picked up a hardcover Cthulu book like that last fall for $6 on Ebay too.  It was local so no shipping.

Oh, yeah, I watched that one too, but didn't bid because I don't care for those too much. That said, I did just get Alma Mater for $20.00 so I hope that was good.

I just picked up a copy of Avalon Hill's Yellowstone for $3 at the local second hand store. I thought it may be similar to Outdoor Survival.

In fact it is a herding game!!! where you move roaming livestock from summer to winter pasturage. Perhaps they will release a new edition called Brokeback Mountain!

with reference to outdoor survival, i have recently seen a fine copy of this game going for roughly 6 bucks... is it normal or this was really a nice finding?

Outdoor survival is quite a common title and I would say that $5 - $6 is the average price for a fine copy. I actually bought one for $2!

It is listed on The Acaeum HERE as of course OD&D was inspired by this game.

Yes, nice win - all I really wanted was the yellow folder too.  Does this mean you are going to be venturing into the nonTSR D&D realm of collectibles?

I recently picked up a Spawn of Fashan, Kabal and Alma Mater for some good prices.  I bought Alma Mater for $25 shipping included which I think (like Serleran) is a reasonable price - NK has had one sitting in their store for $45.  The two recent purchases that I am excited about are:


** expired/removed eBay auction **


and


** expired/removed eBay auction **


The first is a Canadian Produced T&T or generic adventure from 1979 - one day my Canadian D&D page will get put up.  BTW Alma Mater is Canadian produced as well.   The second is a recently produced game that the designer is selling through Ebay.  For $20 (shipping included) you can't go wrong - you even get 2 large sets of dice.  Each dice set contains: d4, 6d6, d8, d10, d12, 3d20, d%, d30.  Who doesn't have enough D30s.

The Half-Price Books in Houston were all busts, but I did visit the legendary Nan's and found Gamescience's Tegel Manor with theGM map, two player's maps, 1995 Gamescience catalog, and Gamescience's change-of-address notice.  It was unpriced, so I got it for $5.
