New MERP acquisition...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1

...arrived today and I am v. pleased with the condition, shiny staples gleaming through the shrinkwrap and no creases

[am clearly a bit obsessive about this]

Looks like I was the only one willing to take a gamble on this lot . . . still, it has a bunch of highlights: (especially in the area of wargames).

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... T&rd=1

Most notably there is Warlock of Firetop Mountain (Steve Jackson/Games Workshop) still in Shrink.

Also, I have no idea what this is: 1967 book, "Modern Rules" An LWS Production.

Anyone?

I was SO tempted, looked like some fun stuff in there! I probably would have bid just to get some goodies to play with except on Wednesday I already bid WAY too much for a set of Gurps books with Bunnies and Burrows (to browse and possibly play) so I'm laying low for a couple of days.

Let us know if there are any "treasures"!

From http://www.intonet.co.uk/~rblack/

London Wargames Section

Published by the London Wargames Section. Miniature Warfare contributors such as John Tunstill, Bish Iwazsko, Carl Reavley etc had a heavy input into these rules, which were used at a number of national conventions during the late-1960s.

That's the only real data I could find, not much help but there is a short list of thier publications on the site as well.

I just won an auction with a copy of "Enworld" thrown in. Anyone know what this publication is? :?

I just remembered that I have a number of posters of the cover of the original Shadowrun game book.

I snagged them one or two per day from the WizKids booth at Gen Con, back in 2001. They were being given away free...a box of them having been found in the FASA warehouse as that company was going away.

Suppose they might be worth anything?

What about a signed Hackmaster poster or two from the same GenCon?

Not sure, but hell if those bloody free GenCon minis seem to be going for a few bucks, you can see if a poster can fetch anything.

Depending on the signature(s) I know I'd pay a couple of bucks for the hackmaster poster, so I'd expect there's someone out there who would probably pay more LOL.

I always like the cover of the original Shadowrun book. If you find a value and decide to part with the posters let me know what you are aksing and I might take one off your hands.

Need to know what printings they are. In general, I don't see anything that stands out. About the only T&T stuff that sells for any kind of price (more than $10 individually) are the really early prints or "rare" items (again, low print run stuff from the very early days).

But for the price, you got a great deal. In fact, it is awesome. I don't see very many lots of T&T and I watch for them regularly.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Wow...I had no idea that there were even that many T&T publications in existence. You might own them all, Alan.

actually, no, there are quite a few more. they are pretty cool items and its an easy enough game ot play with the kids so thats great for us.

the stuff is a nice mix of prints. some first some later - not actually that bothered on rarity or value as such, as i will only offload if i have dupes etc.....just well pleased with what i got for what i paid. whichever way you look at it, it was a bargain and not that often you can get that many books in any one time.

There are about 26 or so I believe, there has also been a new one released recently as well, written by a guy in england and printed by an Australian company from memory. The pocket adventures seem to be the hardest to get.. a good pick up...

There are at least 3 supps, maybe 4. I have 2 & 3, they are basically just a beholder sized zine just with some adventures printed in previous normal issues....
