Wow. Does that module with the V-8 golems belong in this thread?

As a starting point, I have a list of stuff from Afterglow and Heroic Worlds.  The list gets expanded as new items are found through Ebay or in various ads in magazines or fanzines.  I then do a lot of trying to track down authors or call game stores local to where the item was published.  In most cases, neither of these pay off but every once in a while things work out.  The success rate of all of this is pretty dismal though.  I have tracked down and chatted with a number of authors now and many dumped old stock when they moved or just don't seem to have any interest in going through the trouble to ship them.

Of the authors that I have tracked down and been told they have stock left over and would be willing to sell it, maybe 20% of the time the transaction goes through to completion.

Whatever the success rate, you are doing a good thing for the hobby.

I would love to know if anyone has one of those to spare.  I never got a copy at the time.

I am trying to gather up some of my early publications.

Darla;

I have never seen another copy.  I emailed your website a year or more ago and never heard anything back. I can't sell you the actual copy but you are welcome to a free photocopy if you wish, just PM me. I have also tried to find Lane Renfro to see if he has any other copies but I haven't been successful.

Anyone know anything about The Warwick Supplements?

This one got a chuckle but since the parody quotient is high I'd like to know whether anyone has another to confirm/save me firing an email over...

RPG supplement for Fringeworthy or Stalking the Night Fantastic; (c) 1984, so should take approximately 0.65 seconds to spot the context - *lol* for the green "G" on the transparent sheet over the cover.
Dodging the herp refs, the inside has "This is a run of 54 sets of photocopied pages that cannot be released to the general public in any way. These copies are intended for use by our general staff and associates with no intention of copyright infringement. These copies are not for sale" but given the general parody tone I'm not 100% sure whether to read that as-is or if it's just a warning to owners not to end up as lizard food.
Any ideas on status and/or how this might relate to "Guests: An Invasion of the Earth Supplement" alluded to elsewhere but not seen personally??

Along with this was a copy of DM's Book of Nasty Tricks and Misfit Magic (1989 as usual), but a hybrid vs. http://tomeoftreasures.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2513 given the Velo-Bind binding. (Zanzer Tem; do you recall the binding on the copy you just sold relative to those three, perhaps? I think I've misplaced the auction...).

Acquired from fairly near to their point of origin, fwiw.

Thanks,
David.

Not Guests, but have a few copies of Nast tricks, all with the same cover and binding as shown, so presume it to be the most common example of that particular release.

Yes it mentions the "54 sets" on the copyright page and the cover also has the subtitle under "GUESTS" "A Really Silly Alien Invasion of the Earth RPG Suppliment".  On the back it statles "Almost complete in 8 pages." - spelling error corrected - and "Polyhedral dice are too expensive to be included.".

I notice on the back right the product code is listed as "SPP 8901".

Still quite a bit of unraveling to do, I'm sure... Made a change to seeing their rarest/oldest items vanish elsewhere for 99 cents a throw, anyhow.

No such luck. Picked them up one at a time over the years, and haven't got around to shifting them yet. Also have the Tri Tac CD release.
