It looks like about a week passed before it was shipped.I got everything I ordered, but I was disappointed to find that the box of the Castle Whiterock I got was dished on both the top and bottom. Everything else was in good shape, though.
islestrike wrote:When you guys say "dished" I take it you mean the box front and back do not lay perfectly flat, but rather dip inwards, perhaps as a result of having something placed on top or pressure applied?If that's what we are talking about just a caution that many White Rock boxes are like this new. When I bought my copy from a store I chose the least dished of three that were available. My box is slightly dished on both sides, although there are no creases or anything. I've seen many more and I've never seen a perfect flat box yet.I recall reading on Dragons Foot that dishing can occur "naturally" in the manufacturing process. There is a difference in tension across the box when the cover paper is glued and applied to the surface of the cardboard. The glue wets the cardboard causing it to dip where it is not reinforced by the box sides and corners, and it then dries that way. So you can't necessarily pin this problem in the shipping.Cheers!

I think I may have paid too much, but it arrived safe and sound, and I'm happy so no biggie, but curiousity has the better of me. Here's what I won(with shipping the total was $78.00): ** expired/removed eBay auction **They were selling on Amazon for $150.00+ but I haven't checked recently. One sold on eBay recently for $91.00. I'm guessing I did O.K.

Neither World's Largest Dungeon nor World's Largest City have done so (although the latter is still available in stores) or probably ever will. They don't seem to be very popular (not to the extent that the DCC series is) so aren't as collectible. It's the DCC that I'm most on the fence about. I shouldn't be hesitant, as there is no doubt that the $49.99 price is a safe bet.
JasonZavoda wrote:A good indicator is the price of DCC#35 the Gazetteer. You get two small size adventures and two gazetteer books and the maps. I'm not sure how many people are using the DCC line in the Goodman game world, but the Gazetteer has jumped to over a $100 and is difficult to find.DCC#51 is a much larger set. 4 monstermodule size adventures are included. I think DCC#51 is going to be something akin to Rapan Athak reloaded rather than the worlds largest (and worst by some accounts) Dungeon.But at $50 it is really an excellent price.
