If it is in really good condition, and has the players map, yes - that is a good price.

[edit: that assumes you are not also paying $50 for postage    ]

Well, if you want the 1st print paperback for your collection, you should prob. wait.  But still an OK price for the hardback.  Some of these had problems with the binding - so best to check.

$68 for the 2nd print is a good enough price, RRP was $75 and now it's OOP and I haven't seen any plans to re-print. The book is v.heavy though so expect to be skinned if you order from the States. Second what Red said, production quality leaves a bit to be desired, 1st print is superior but the prices have been going up again. I'm pretty sure I have a 2nd print which I'd swap for a JG goodie bag if you are interested. Another option is to keep an eye on Chaosium - they have a habit of finding copies from time to time. I place a Chaosium order about once a month and take advantage of free shipping so let me know if you need anything from their catalogue. Or wait, they surface quite regularly on eBay and maybe one will pass under the radar.

Rarest, from what I've experienced, is 1st print HB. I kicked myself in the arse for selling the one copy that came my way. Haven't seen one since.

[EDIT]: If all you want to do is read it - no problem I'll send you a copy. Let me know.

The Chaosium products in support of Gaslight are Dark Designs and Sacraments of Evil.

Pagan Publishing printed The Golden Dawn for the Gaslight setting.

In the monograph line, Chaosium has The Gaslight Equipment Catalogue, and Return of the Ripper. There are a few more monographs set in the Gaslight period that should be published by the end of 2008.

It was an interesting era that meshed well with Call of Cthulhu but never got the support that it deserves.

Great buy Al!  Looks nice, for a good price, and it's local!  



You might also look for Green and Pleasant Land sourcebook.  It's not specifically set in Gaslight (1920s I believe), but has some good info about the UK during the late 19th/early 20th century.

Good price Al.

As the Gaslight box set is very British in it setting, you could also look at some of the more UK-centred scenarios which appeared in White Dwarf too.

Try these four for starters Al.

#50 (Feb '84) p20-22 The Watchers of Walberswick by Jon Sutherland

#60 (Dec '84) p18-21 The Bleeding Stone of Iphtah by Steve Williams & Jon Sutherland - fantastic scenario in the Middle East

#66 (Jun '85) p22-26 The Horse of the Invisible by AJ Bradbury

#88 (Apr '87) p12-14 The Paddington Horror by Marcus L. Rowland

They are all quite short - but good for a night's gaming each - or two if your players are cautious...  

woo nice one guys!

thanks

Al

Thanks Jason!
