Well check this out:

Notice the tell-tale photocopy of the staple holes along the spine of the fake on the right.

Here's my question.  I know exactly where this fake came from.  He sells Richard Jordison every month or so.  His description says that they were given to him by the author and are signed.  There is a Richard Jordison signature on the map with the year 2001.  The seller never says that what he is selling are photocopies of the 1976 edition.  The chits are also a copy.  

Please check your Fact and Fantasy stuff.  The titles are:

The Battle of Helm's Deep
The Seige of Minas Tirith
Mind War
War of the Sky Galleons
Warriors of the Green Planet

The reason I'm bringing this up is that a couple of the items on this list bring some real money.  If the seller is selling copies rather than originals, then some of you may have gotten burned, thinking you were getting the real thing.  Please check your stuff.

I can't help but wonder if this is also the source for the Gamelords fakes.

Point the way and I'll buy him out.

If the owner of the copyright decided to make another bunch of copies after seeing that they sell well on Ebay, they are not really fakes but they are not original printings either...  so what does that make them?

I very much doubt Tadashi is running them off on his photocopier.  
I think this is a small time copy shop operation by some redneck who hasn't really though it through.

2nd Printings.

Last time I checked, technically, and legally, they would be Reprints. Once production stops for a period of time, making more and selling again is a Reprint.[/quote]

I know Aaron has some photocopies of Gamelords stuff he picked up off other sellers, and is selling them in his shop. Taverns comes to mind. Did you get them at nobleknight?

I happen to have three real copies of Mind War, so if somebody wants one they can PM me.  I did not get the copied Mind War from Nobleknight.  That said, I wish he would pull the fake copies of The Compleat Tavern which are currently for sale @ $20.

Does anyone know Jordison?  This matter could be cleared up quickly if he would confirm reprinting any F&F stuff and the buyer.

I talk with him occasionally but haven't lately, nor do I have a recent contact addy (and the old one is invalid :/ ).

I highly doubt that Rich is reprinting anything. He was stung real bad when all that LotR crap went down.

I have the three Warriors of the Green Planet titles, plus the expansion Rules set that links the three games together.  I think I bought them from Jordison when he was selling them on ebay directly a few years ago.  I'll check them when I get home tonight.



There's a Minas Tirith up on ebay right now http://cgi.ebay.com/Siege-of-Minas-Tiri ... dZViewItem.  I bid on several copies back when Jordison was doing his closet cleaning, but they all went for upwards of $90, too rich for me back then.



IIRC Jordison was offering to sign his copies when he put them up for sale.  I had some email exchanges with him back then.  I'll see if I can dig them out.
