That was Wizards of the Coasts attempt at doing a Role Playing game.
They tried to incorporate Trading Cards into the game and it was a big $$$ loser for them.

Yeah, course it lead to Magic. I got the box set and complete box of SW cards for cheap..odd concept, but some of the art is cool.

...what's that???

Everway is a game that uses Tarot-style cards to facilitate gameplay. The books are not entirely useless without the cards; a pseudo-Everway system can be fudged by using some other source of inspiration. However, Everway is already different from a normal RPG, so you would be straying far afield.

As a collectible, it came in a huge box with lots of paper, as the auction indicates. Original price was large for the time.

Google for it and read what the creator and others have to say . . .

Actually, Magic predated Everway; Everway was created with Magic money. It was WotC's Primal Order series (not a game per se, but an add on to many different games) that predated Magic. Everway was developed by Jonathan Tweet, the same guy who was a lead designer, along with Monte Cook, of 3E D&D (he was also a major figure in Ars Magic 3E and 4E, IIRC, and the WotC edition of Talislanta, which also followed Magic).

Everway was WotC's abortive effort to develop an in-house RPG (Talislanta, SLA Industries, and Ars Magica were bought from out of house, though re-designed in house). It was an interesting design, but ultimately doomed as it came out just as MMORPG-style themes began taking over gaming minds... too esoteric, not number-crunchy character-buildy enough. The whole RPG division was jettisoned after the failure of the game to catch, though how much of that was Everway and how much was a business decision to focus on TCGs I don't know. Then later, of course, WotC bought TSR...

Never mind. As dense as I am, I overlooked the huge "Grendadier" label in the TITLE. Doh!

Cool - only for the hardcore collector though

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

GW character sheets

BTW - if anyone has a scan /copy/version of this sheet - I'd dearly love one for my own use - these were my joint favourite sheets back in the day! (I'd know the other sort if I saw one - a generic character sheet very similar to this one)

I guess the seller is Ian Marsh himself. He was, in my eyes, a great editor and wrote the News column for The Adventurer magazine for some time. It would be fantastic interviewing him

PS for you Americans: don't miss KODT issue 126 where my interview with Graeme Davis will be published :wink:

. If that goes well, I'll do many interviews more in the future!

The seller isn't Ian Marsh, although he did work at GW.

This guy has some rare(ish) 2nd ed MERP, and cheap international shipping.

eBay listings

And here is a Call Cthulhu Mountains of Madness mega adventure plus most of the uncommon expedition pack (which he has forgotten to mention in the title). Currently $50 (less than half what the other one, currently up, is at).

Hanson 3271 has his back up again, $10 lower, but I am pretty sure he doesn't ship to the UK (he certainly never answers any of my polite emails).
