I grabbed up a couple things I wanted, and then bought some stuff from the guy doing the Free RPG Day - it is not free to them, you know. Oh, and, I felt that it should go both ways, so I gave him some copies of extra stuff I had laying around the house - just hope it was good enough.

Anyway, I got the TLG stuff, the Murder at Miskatonic and the T&T thing.

Is that with or without the battle-mat and mini?

You gotta be kidding me!

That is just the most absurd thing I have seen in quite some time.

Good God.  That one isn't even shrinkwrapped!



If someone outside of the US, Canada, and the UK is collecting the 4E module/board/mini, let me know before Wednesday.  Wednesday is my Day of Recouping Gas Costs with the 4E stuff.

Could be shilling, everyone involved has low feedback.  But I picked up multiple copies of that abomination (errr, 4E module) and saw that $30+ idiocy, so I put two of mine up at BIN's of $17 and $20.  Both were gone within hours....hey, JG, I'm buying lunch next time we get together!!!! I'm glad I did, because #1 they were poisoning the other items in my stock just by being close to them (for example, my copy of B1 suddenly told me he wanted to feature a full army of kobolds with differing attack routines instead of just random stats), and #2, IMO we'll see this module again on the shelf for much less money in a reprint edition.



Here's what's funny, IMO:  I think these people are just paying an excessive fee to be the 'first on the block' to own a 4E module, since I really don't think there is any way WOTC doesn't reprint this and offer it again, for a low price. As a matter of fact It think we'll see a lot of this offered again....I doubt the 4E item, the DCC module, Pathfinder, or any of the Quick Starts won't be re-issued.  Or, for those going to Gencon, given away at the respective booths of the companys (last year the Goodman booth had plenty of the Castle Whiterock giveaways at their booth).  I'm still not convinced of the collectibilty of ANY of the Free Game Day material at this point, from either of the first two years.

Which makes it more amusing since there has already been a 4e module released.

As for value: I'd be tempted to say that the Septimus quick-start and the WFRP one from last year may eventually gain some value.

The former because the game got cancelled (though that may cause it to lose all value -- who knows), the latter because Black Industries has transferred the game-line and we still haven't seen Fantasy Flight's WFRP plans yet.

lol...
Dangit.....

I had long planned to do the trip with Mike and JG (if they would have me) but before I cold ask Mike, my sister told me I would be otherwise engaged that day. Her husband passed away a month ago and she needed my help moving his storage stuff. No question which one I was gonna do. Its OK though, I wont be looking to collect (or ever buy) any of the 4th Edition stuff anyway.

Given Goodman Games' great game giveaway of, uh, ran out of alliteration there . . .

If Goodman has their three modules at GenCon, then they can continue to ride the wave from Free RPG Day.  At least two people want the Punjar DCC, currently at $26:

Funny I'm looking at the other things for Free RPG day and they seem to have only 1 or no bids.

No one bids on them because they are for unknown or unpopular systems.  

The TLG stuff will see print in some form or another - the C&C QS is already in print. It was designed to give a basic rundown of the game for people not familiar already. The SS QS will make its way into a box set for that game.

Just so you know.
