Nice snag Allan - still one of the best looking best produced books for any rpg in the last 20 years.

Recent passings notwithstanding, this is really a golden age for Call of Cthulhu.  new publishers, new adventures, and loads of small conventions running too    

Hey, in case anyone is still curious, here's what I ended up with (I began this thread, for those who might be saying, "Huh?"):

Second edition boxed set;
Both of the Chaosium solo adventures;
Both of the Chaosium companion books;
Shadows of Y-S;
Some Different Worlds issues with Cthulhu content;
... and ... and ... I know I'm forgetting at least one more. Hell with it.

I also bought a 6th edition hardback to compare where the game is now with where it was BITD.

Lots of good stuff. I'm not sure I'll ever play again (and I've got the Arkham Horror boardgame to help scratch the Mythos itch), but the purchases were worth it just for the atmosphere alone. You just can't beat CoC for atmosphere.

That's great Duke.  You should also pick up some of Pagan's products---quite good stuff!

This one...

The Noble Knight web store has one in stock right now in a stated VG condition for $25.20.
I usually see them sell on eBay in the $10 - $20 range. If you are a patient eBay auction watcher you can pick them up for under $10.
Occasionally you will see them sell for more but I suspect the buyer is looking for the item and wants the first one they see.

I got it from the UK, Robert, so interested buyers might keep and eye out there for such:  sometimes good bargains are worth the shipping cost

Call of Cthulhu 2nd Edition
Terror from the Stars
Dreamlands
Spawn of Azathoth
Trail of the Loathsome Slime
Nightmare in Norway
Cthulhu Companion
Statue of the Sorcerer
Cthulhu by Gaslight
Green and Pleasant Land
Alone Against the Dark

eBay listings

The Terror from the Stars should do well since he is showing that the Theron Marks Field Manual is still attached.

Trail of the Loathsome Slime, Green and Pleasant Land and Nightmare in Norway have been fetching some good prices over the last few years.

All three were Games Workshop publications from the mid-80's.

He has some Runequest items that usually fetch a handsome price such as Big Rubble and Pavis.

It is too bad that Moon Design Publications has not reprinted their 316 page book that combines both.

I was searching for that for quite some time for a friend of mine who is a longtime Runequest fan.

Goodman Games will have a new "Age of Cthulhu" module out late this year.  Here's a preview of cover art I found on eth forums of their website...



[edit] From the cover art and some other bits and pieces floating about the web, looks like they will be using Stonehenge as one of the locations. Not a bad idea - personally I think it has been a little underused in published scenarios.
