My understanding was that Ken sold him (from about 5 years back, onwards?) much/most of what he's been (re)selling recently. Do you know otherwise, Mark?

I didn't ask Ken that question directly but there was nothing to counter that, off-hand, nor in casual discussions with Rick Loomis.

Ken St Andre's own forum; I never joined, so I don't know how often he's around to take questions.

Shanghai fun & friends!

The Yahoo email address there (mouseover "email") is still his current one, afaik.

02c, it might not be the best of times for some of those potential questions until it's obvious how things have panned out from the recent grief since, fwiw, that was always a possible source of friction in the past as Ken was very much in support of Outlaw Press with Rick Loomis, as noted, "rather less so"...

I bought a copy of Demons & Notmen from him (actually it was William's copy before that) and he said:

After spending all that money to buy a that copy of Demons & Notmen a friend (Ken St. Andre) was cleaning out his back room and gave me a second copy of it.

I am guessing Ken probably game him a few more things than just Demons & Notmen.

Nice bonus item, that? I think that /had/ been made reference to before: apologies for forgetting, if so. That's the trouble with giving people things - once they're no longer yours, you're no longer in a position to dictate terms and I'll just have to presume Ken didn't say "do not sell this" for lack of any further information. James sent me over some freebies, too, without any such conditions, anyhow, fwiw.
Has happened here as well, where people have been given items gratis only to see those being sold for non-trivial sums (~$100 in at least one case) a few months later. So be it, I guess...?

For the time being, I'll take as truth the understanding that much/most of what he's been (re)selling was actually purchased; not that that's really my business in the first place.

$120 for 32 Kalamar books, many hardcover. Some of them are harder to find than others but I don't believe you can call any Kalamar book 'rare'.

For non-AD&D books I am mainly interested in adventures or interesting items and for me the Kalamar specific books or player books are useless and worthless. So 32 books, cut down by at least half, and at around $8 an adventure I can find Kalamar cheaper. But it is still an astounding amount of books from one setting to be sold fairly cheaply.

The seller also has a stack of Hackmaster books for around $75 but out of the 23 listed, 8 are hacklopedia (monster matrix was a little more sought after before the hackmaster backstock liquidations. 6 adventures in the lot, 3 harder to find S4, S5 and S6.

Both are fantastic buys for someone remotely interested in these game lines (but a reseller would have a hard time making much, if any, profit on them in the near future).

Here's 19 Kalamar books currently at 25$

This is the 3rd or 4th lot of these from this seller. Awhile back amberdexterity started selling large lots of kalamar and hackmaster (then some kenzer/necromancer lots).

There are tons of these out there and sometimes they sell for a reasonable amount (in wholesale kind of way) but they are filling a very large pond of wholesale kenzer material. Good in its way because gamers are being exposed to the material but there are so so many of these books sold very cheap that I can't see them as much of collectable for years and years to come.

Seller hamilcar had Geomorphic Mini Dungeon Modules by Fantasy Art Enterprises for sale, which ended earlier this evening.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT

They looked interesting, so I threw in a bid, but they sold for a bit more than I had anticipated, and to tfm. Since tfm was bidding, I'm wondering if these were more interesting (or at least more rare) than I had thought. Anyone know anything about them?

I've seen Mars' set (before I shipped them to him). Rare, yes. Interesting, no. Just a set of crudely done dungeon geomorphs.

Thanks, Mike. I thought that might be the case.

FWIW, I disagree: they're among the more-interesting geomorphs out there, since they leverage quite a bit more vertical movement as part of the geos.

If you want to check them out, I designed a level using all of them @ http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh ... -small.jpg

The FAE magical and technological item cards are much more interesting since they have some good classic Otus art.

If you are looking for a set of the FAE items, you could probably email Hamilcar direct and buy another set. Chances are he has a bundle of them and currently has the box out.

I'm still looking for one. The last few have all been in bulk lots.

I got mine in a huge lot too, with a lot of odds. VHTF but not really interesting.

True, but it is still on my list of items to get

Most of which don't come around too often.
