I keep wondering what would have happened if some enterprising soul had bought the entire print run (all 60) of the module within the first few minutes of GenCon...honestly, sounds like something I might have done had I been there....!
  But good thing Goodman Games did the right thing and reprinted the module.  A few hundred copies is enough to get one into everyone's hands who wants one, plus still keeps it very collectible.  Good solution.

I don't think you'll ever finish receiving the much deserved 'thank yous' from us guys who you managed to score the copies for Shane (another huge kudo  8) ).

And I would say the Pms will be coming thick and fast for the next ones at 'Con, 1E or not - and again I'll be one of them :lol:

I'll put my wallet in behind another 1E, definitely!!

Barring something drastic, I'll be at the next GenCon.
If Goodman allows me to purchase for anyone here, then I do like this years GenCon.  If its a limited number per person..well...I'll get a couple friends to help out  :wink:  :D and do the same.

I was the first guy at the booth to buy these!  I thought about buying the whole run; I even asked the dude at the booth if I could!  He said, sure, whatever!!  Never the less I did not and only bought a few copies (which I can't find at the moment :? ).

I figured there would be a rush to the goodman games booth for these, while they sold out quickly, there was no rush, pushing, fighting etc.

Man, you could have been the "lumberjacques" of DCC 12.5.  Siphoning them off in mint condition over the next several years... :D

That is true I knew Shane was buying a load for the forum regulars so I did abstain from buying a huge amount. I did buy a few extras (2 for me and 2 for friends back here) and I just traded one to an Acaeum member 5 minutes ago.

BTW, one of the War of the Witch Queen 17.5 just went for a nice amount on Ebay:




** expired/removed eBay auction **




I wonder if this one is one of the rarest, because I only found out about it through perusing their site one day, ordered a few, then the nexttime I looked it's gone.  Didn't seem like they advertised it very much....I'm pretty sure I resold a couple of copies for $15-$20 at that time!!!! :x

Unfortunately I didn't manage to got it.  :?

So there has to be a lesson here.  

This one remained unsold at $9.99

but was then relisted at a starting price

of $5.99 and is now climbing upwards...

I would pay about $25 for one...but I think they are worth at least $50, and the sky is the limit on future worth ($100 by next year?).  Nice investment item if you are thinking about it....

No kidding...the one Ian purchased from me for $50 turned out to be quite the bargain. I have another up now, as before curious to see what will happen, but instead of $50 it's listed at $145 I believe...interesting to see if anyone bites at it, a week ago I would have thought $100 outrageous...
