I recall far more copies of Wraith Overlord in the shrinkwrap than out.

This item seems to have sat on store shelves until they went under.

Which is a shame, because it's a damn fine product. Deffinately in my top 10 JG products.

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

I agree with this.
Wraith Overlord is a Fine product in SW or not.

Probably Better when not SWed since its easier to use for game play that way. :lol:

I like the concept of Wraith Overlord and I like the maps.

The only thing it's missing is....a wraith overlord.

Maybe it's a simile. Maybe 'overlord' is being used to describe the tome. A play on words that works with CSIO. 'Wraith Overlord' could be read as 'book of great power, of the dead', all be it a little anthropomorphic.
Still, at least if you get it SW you know you have the map. Too many copies have the map missing. That's one of the things I like about the NG 3E release; CSIO and WO in one big tome of hardcover goodness.

Perhaps Wraith Overlord refers to it being a "ghost" of the city above (CSIO), though it should have a wraith overlord to mirror the IO.

I got mine for around $20.00.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Here ya go.

The 2nd Edition box set, sans the box itself.

Starting at $19.99, BIN of $29.99

Much lower price than the ones mentioned above and (I think) the set includes all but the box itself.

Idiot.

Wow, I've been putting off listing a ton of Traveller stuff because I didn't think there was any money in it. Just goes to show, you never know.

Remember, price asked is not price sold for...

I'm new to looking at Traveller stuff, but I assume this lot is more like a $40 purchase.
