Are you saying my work is in Dragon #37?  I didn't think they ever ran any of my stuff.  

(And, don't call me Darlene.  You may want to scream my name someday, and you want to be sure you get it right.)

Darlene/Darla===Two different artists, Rakeesh.  

Darla, I believe I saw your fine work on another gaming product of the early 90s, I want to say it was a Palladium product. Do you (or anyone else) remember which one it was?

Central Casting, Dungeons and Heroes of Legend, Graduation Exercize and a couple of other spot illustrations.

That makes sense, now that I remember, I sold some of the TFG items recently, I must have been flipping through and saw some illos.

Thanks Darla!!!!

So is signed numbered copy 001 going up for auction? Or does it already have pride of place in someone's collection?

Four Copies of Tabletop Warriors For Sale!

Slight delay in getting the signed and numbered copies up for auction, due to conflicting schedules. Right now, I have four copies left of the "regular" copies that I am going to sell on the Acaeum only; the larger roll-out will not appear until later in the year or early next year.  As stated, four copies here, all in very slightly less than NM shape…all have one very small blemish on the front or back, or wear along the spine (lightening of the blue color all along the spine which probably indicates light or sun damage at some point of the last 25 years or so).  These are going to be $40 each, plus shipping ($6 domestic, $11 Canada, $13 overseas).  I only have these at hand right now, and I would ask anyone already having a copy to let someone else get a shot at one of these before you get a chance to buy another (should you want).  In the future, copies will sell in the $35-$45 range depending on condition; these are at least excellent if not just below NM.  If you want a "perfect" copy you might want to wait, as there are tiny imperfections on all these (but as I look, there appear to be less and less in "perfect" shape as storage and age has taken it's toll).
First come first served with these.  By the end of the year, I hopefully will have more to offer in this shape, enough for everyone on the Acaeum that wants one. At that time we will also be auctioning the first of the signed and numbered copies on ebay (there are 13 copies in all signed by both author Lane Renfro and artist Darla Hallmark).  

Please PM me if you want a copy, thanks!

Holy crap. I forgot about what I had all these years until Badmike mentioned the book recently & I looked up this thread. I purchased Tabletop Warriors from Nan's in 1986, where it was kept on the same rack as the OD&D stock.

I don't remember why I bought it in the first place, but it's old-school qualities definitely led me to look for more of the same. When I acquired a white box the next year, Tabletop Warriors went right into it.

All in all it's a great book - either the last of the true old school, or the first of the retro-clones. My copy has a $9.00 Nan's price sticker, discoloration on the spine similar to the other existing copies, & a card stapled to the back cover (which I didn't see mentioned on this thread).

Sauro;

I would be interested in learning more about this card, as none of the 50-odd copies I've gotten from Lane had a card attached.

Awesome Sauro!  Yours is the only copy with the tan parchment sheet.  Lane had his copies of TTW stored in a box in his garage, either the sheets were thrown away or are in a box that hasn't been discovered yet. Sounds like something they added later after realizing there was no monetary conversion chart in the book.
