The Ysgarth books come with a wraparound cover, Loki. You might want to ask the seller if he has it. Probably not, but it can't hurt.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Thanks for the note, I will ask him. I am not very aware about Ysgarth books. I was thinking they were in a box, and Mars told me that boxes are very hard to get for Ysgarth stuff

Mars wrote:Boxes are quite rare for Ragnarok stuff (I don't have one yet either). "Missing" is a bad word to use for boxes with Ragnarok stuff. At one point Ragnarok bought a bunch of boxes and if you bought stuff during that time, you probably got it in a box - adventures, rules, other games, etc. When they ran out, they didn't get any more - probably too expensive. All of the Ragnarok items that were sold in a box were also sold without the box.

Damn, I'd have jumped all over that, had I been looking.. but, alas, this last week has not been a joyous one for me, though I did get a pretty good run of DA modules.

I found a copy of Lion Rampant's The Tempest for 2nd edition Ars Magica in the clearance bin at the gaming store I normally don't visit (as their stock doesn't usually have any variety).

Not in perfect condition, but still excellent -- and $4 is fine by me, given that the only copies on eBay are $25-$30 + shipping.

Ummm . . . are the Lion Rampant Ars Magica items actually worth more than a few bucks? Crap, I kept passing them up at HPB.

Depends on the item, but I'd say generally not really. Maybe $10-15 for most of the items if you're willing to wait a bit, with the 1st ed. core rules being a bit more. (I've seen the latter vary from a bit over $20 through to > $100 over the past couple of months -- though the high price looked like two newbies in a bidding war. There's also one printing of it that's rarer than the other, so that may affect price.)

Hence why I wasn't going to pay $25-$30 + shipping for this one.

Though, to be honest, I was more excited just because it moves me that much closer to finishing off my collection. (Down to 4 items now!

)

(Granted, I'm no expert here. So someone else may be able to better define price for you.)

There are a few rarities amongst the Ars Magica products. Check out 300 Multiple Choices which lists ArM publications. I know that the Bats of Mercille is legendary in the ArM community for its scarcity (it has 2 printings), along with some recordings of some sort published by Atlas on audio cassette IIRC (Pagan Publishing also had something similar, a few years later, I think).

I mentioned it briefly in a post in Classifieds, but I did obtain a Near Mint copy of Spartan #9 (the Warlock issue) for $19.95 at one of my usual haunts. It was actually found by my fiancÃ©e after me telling her about it, and showing her some auctions for it, so I'm quite pleased. That's an item I had marked down as "don't think I'll ever have."

common item: so the price is ok in one respect but, but the content is great so it's a decent purchase at $15 plus shipping

I have no idea as to the actual rarity (or value) but I figured it had a place alongside my OD&D stuff. And the price seemed right

Dude, you seriously overpaid for that thing. :roll:

Seriously though, pretty much any game for 99 cents is a pretty damn good deal IMO.

I was at Half Price Books the other day and I found a copy of Pagan Publishing's Alone on Halloween.

My copy is pretty much like this one...possibly just slightly rougher condition...a couple of minor scuffs more.

I paid $4.48 for it.

Is there anyone here who might be looking for this one?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes. :lol:

I just thought I'd share because I had my first "Wow" moment in about two decades in a FLGS here in Virginia. (It's not TSR, or even D&D, but it is Gygaxian.)

I walked into "Game Parlor" in Chantilly and found all the Lejendary Adventure stuff I'm missing from my collection except for two items! $200 later, and I'm a very happy guy. (The FLGSs in Toronto suck, catering to the d20 crowd and CCGs. This place had a bunch of people playing various apparently fun games in the back, and tons of variety. Do check them out if you're in the area.)

I was about to buy out the entire LA stock if the manager would cut me a deal, but he wouldn't budge on a discount so I only bought what I really needed. Still, I saved a small fortune in shipping fees.
