This should be a PbM written in 1989:

Do you know it? Is it worth reading?

Not sure, but found this, short, review on the game:
The Games Machine magazine Issue 023, October 1989, published by Newsfield Pubications wrote:Reality Shift Games are new on the scene with Loremasters of Corlean. The game's a single-character RPG, set in the usual fantasy lands, with a clear rulebook. It seems fairly combat orientated, so is probably more for the D&D hack 'n' slay brigade rather than pure roleplayers. Start-up is £4.50, which includes two free turns. Further turns are £1.60. The first ten TGM readers to apply will get an extra free turn with their start-up!

IIRC, mine is signed even on the box, close to the numbers...


Hello, yes, this is my set that I am selling. Unless my mind fails me, I am pretty sure that this is how I purchased the set directly from TLG. I have had it in my collection without use since then.

Thanks,
Jorge

Found this thread through the earlier version of this thread. Thought I'd share for the group that ebay seller heracleides ** eBay auction listing blocked.  Please enable cookies in your browser for this site and for eBay! **

was confirmed as stolen content by the owner (issue 6 only existed in a post-original version sold through kickstarter a few years ago). In the items I returned at least one came with a CD/RW copy of the zine.

Are you saying that this is a bogus eBay account and/or that the seller is selling counterfeit items?  There are other posts for that type of post, if that's the case.

Does reporting anything to eBay ever do anything?
I doubt it unless you are the copyright holder and can serve them with a C&D letter from your lawyer.
I realised a long time ago that its just a waste of your time.

Now, buying stuff from someone, then reporting the theft of IP to the police and obtaining a crime reference number, and claiming from PayPal that you had reported the crime and were going to recover your funds through your credit card if they do not return your money to you, may deprive the seller of his goods, and he'll write a loss on the postage too. And if you could get a lot of people to sting the guy that way, maybe you could shut him down legally. But you really have to be dedicated to do that, so why not just let it lie. There's a market for bootlegs, always has been all the way back to crappy concert recordings stamped onto vinyl and xeroxed tourneys circulating in highschool the week after convention weekends, both of which are legitimately collected and bought and sold at some pretty high prices.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Bootlegging IP has to be pretty high-dollar in the US to interest the police, otherwise it's got to be a civil suit brought by the IP holder. Fraud might be applicable, but trying to convince the police you've been wronged because these are reprints, and the seller never said they were original but you assumed they were? I hope you now understand why those protesters want to defund the police - they're useless when it counts!

It wouldn't be intended to do anything other than register that a report had been made. That way you have a solid case (certainly in the UK) for not returning the illegal product to the seller. The argument with PayPal, and if not PayPal will not relent, then your CC company is a simple one. They have to return your money because you were sold illegal counterfeit product and they cannot demand the return the goods because by doing so you would be committing a crime. They cannot demand that you commit a criminal act in order to get your money back.  

The point is to remove the seller's property and cause him to spend money manufacturing, listing, paying fees, and shipping, that are all a complete loss to him. There comes a point where the losses outweigh the profits and he gives up or puts his prices up and fails either way. If 25% of his sales resulted in direct loss and possibly even a $15 chargeback fee, he'll pull the plug quickly.

The risk is in ensuring you recover your money from the transaction and can explain why the goods had to be retained and not returned to the seller. And the willingness to go the course with PayPal if you needed to.

For me, I see that no-one ever stopped bootleg albums or photocopied dungeons back in the day, and now they are sold as collectables at good prices, so why complain. It is an aspect of collecting. I have bought many a tourney that may or may not have been photocopied by the DM at a con, or by a schoolkid in a library. I have no way of knowing, and I doubt they are distinguishable from any other photocopy except for whomever owns the original manuscript. So if I ever sell any of them I'll sell them as 'vintage tournament dungeon'.
