I just did a BIN for a copy of Alma Mater for $20.00. I hope it was a good deal.

Yep, Paul's still around, and I'm still planning to reprint some of his stuff, if he'll ever answer my emails

Would harassing him daily work? :wink:

Is he an active gamer/writer - what little I have read of his is universally good so I would be interested in seeing new stuff.

Paul Vernons P&p page handily omits Starstone and Trouble at Embertrees from WD34 (IIRC) - excellent stuff which can be slotted into a Starstone campaign

Tidy review over at Dragonsfoot

(Thinking about it I don't know why I'm talking up this item seeing as I'm currently bidding on it! - ignore all that's gone before, it's crap only fit to line the budgies cage :lol:

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

I did the same thing to myself by talking about Thieves Guild.

Cougar is now officially killing himself. Essentially $10 for a Midkemia publication. Even with the jacked up shipping he's lost money on the deal.

I asked Cougar about shipping for this item. I wondered if he would reply...hey...maybe I'd take a risk.

No reply.

The real shame is that only Acaeum members bid on it.

Of course he didn't answer your question about shipping. Thats part of his whole scam. His final shipping costs are soley dependant on how well the auction does. The worse the auction odes the higher the shipping is going to be.

You know if Cougar announced he was giving everything he had away, you just had to pay for shipping, I still wouldn't even take it.

I realize this is just a typo, but I like the word "odes"...like maybe it means "stinks" or "sucks" as a gerund of "odious."

I was thinking about bidding, yes. I did not bid.

I sold a copy for $40 a couple years back....it should be worth at least that much now.

well at £5 it was a good price.

i've never yet had a bad item, nor one misdescribed (whether as to content or printing) from cougar, and even factoring shipping it's the best value available.

most of the acaeum members i know in the UK have bid on his items.

Unfortunately this circumstance seems restricted to UK members. American members have had plenty of misdescribed items (no maps being high on the list), high unstated shipping prices, and many, many, MANY lost M-Bag shipments whose contents mysteriously turn up in Cougie's store months later, no explanation offered or given to the American seller whose paypal payment has been charged back by Cougie.
I believe Coug is reluctant to raise too much ill-will among his Euro mates...#1, they live close enough to actually hunt him down and do damage, and #2, it's always "OK" to rip off a foreigner to a lot of these type of guys, it's like if they are across the pond they don't seem to really count, it's happening "far away"and who cares if some dumb American bloke pays $50 shipping fora module?

Seller also has a few other nice lots including this one:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

If you'll notice the current high bidder is one sir_lance_u_alot_sales. I think some of the resellers here ought to bid up the price on her just for laughs. :twisted:
