My first DCC purchase was in June of 2007; I blame BadMike. IIRC, he was talking about the collectibility of the 1st Edition DCC 12.5 on the Friday Night Chat, and having been recently infected with collection creep, I mistakenly purchased a copy of the 3.5 version the next day off Ebay. This copy happened to be in shrink, aftermarket I learned latter , so I was doubly screwed on this eBay score. After this burn, I went back to the well and bought a second copy of 12.5; this module was not in shrink so I could actually read it and was immediately hooked by the quality of writing and the aesthetics of the book. (Before you ask, I didn't have the heart to deshrink the first one even after learning it was not original. ) At that time (2007), I was not really visiting any of the gaming sites so I never saw the Goodman Games announcement and was basically relying on the generosity of others to inform me when I should pre-order or purchase this or that collectible. While I am better about checking gaming sites more frequently, I still rely on others to give me a heads up when something new, cool, or potentially collectible comes out. The Kickstarter thread for certain is a great way to uncover lots of new goodies, and as always the Friday Night Chat helps fan the collecting flames.Keep 'em coming, guys. :lol:

benjoshua wrote in Dungeon Crawl Classics Questions/Opinions:I came across a copy of DCC #51 Castle Whiterock for sale on eBay and decided to see how much it would sell for. It turns out that it sold for more than I thought it would and went into research mode on DCC module sale prices. It appears that early DCC modules have held their value overall and many of the rarer and bigger modules have gone up substantially. I bought DCC #51 for $49.00 and many sell for around $100.00 today. Anyway, most of you probably knew this, but it was a bit of a surprise for me.

benjoshua wrote in Dungeon Crawl Classics Questions/Opinions:A couple of weeks back, I get this in the mail:Cool. I like free stuff. Looking through this fourteen page catalogue, I was interested to read how much the DCC line has grown. I collected most of them until the covers turned white and 4th Edition after DCC number 52. I have read many of them and like the old-school vibe many present. What surprised me is how much the DCC line has become a collector's...... nightmare. There are reprints and foil covers and variant covers and foil covers and on and on. It describes the rarest DCC adventure ever, and no, it's not #3.5! I guess that begs the question, when does collecting become more important than the game that started the interest in collecting? And is that a problem? I realize I am asking a community seriously devoted to collecting so I apologize if it appears I am trolling. I am not. The catalogue emphasizes the artist covers and editions and collectibility more than the gaming goodness. I am not begrudging Goodman Games trying to make a living, but the commercialization feels beyond enterprising. Maybe I was hoping for more hobby hype. Maybe I don't understand company catalogues or gaming companies. I am curious if anyone else received the catalogue and what impression you had from looking at it.
