Sounds like they ran out of card, or had an incorrect card sheet in the stack when the boxes were made. Pretty cool oddity.

Apart  from random creases due to crappy construction, my box is flat.

I agree, but probably not for awhile....you can still find them on the shelves of local gamestores.

What about CZ Yggsburgh?

I doubt it. It was availble for many years online and in stores, and is not as "iconic" a product as the dungeons themselves.

What about the CZ City Expansions?

Perhaps....they didn't seem to be distributed to retail outlets as much as the other items like the hardback.

And then there's Dark Chateau. None of the rest seems particularly scarse ATM.

Although this has been available for awhile, it does seem a  little harder to find than the usual C&C item, plus it's inter-related to the Upper Levels (in the same area and can be adventured in during the same time).  I'd look for this one to be sought after if people eventually figure out it's relationship to the Upper Levels.

I got CZ:UW figured, but I just didn't know about any of the other products. Might try to get me a Dark Chateau or two if I can snag them without international shipping. A lot of stuff that's on the shelves in the US doesn't appear on the shelves here in the UK. The RPG distribution chain here is pretty decrepid and controlled almost exclusively by a single distributor. So if they only bring in 50 copies that's all that ever makes it in. Hopefully some of the UK online outlets will still have DC.

I've got to wonder about those that worked on the Free Town of Yggsburgh books just how much got completed for those not announced or not released.  I was one who got the emails and little bit of info about the project, but couldn't commit the time to the project so was removed.  I'd have to see if the emails have contacts for those involved if people are curious.

I think that when all the products were pulled from TLG, that the rights to each of the modules reverted back to the authors.  I wonder if this gives the authors the authority to republish them (if so can they use the Castle Zagyg name or setting?).

I thought as much.  They would have to change it to Castle Xagig or something like that

Well that makes two.  Avur when did you get your set, if I may ask?  Does your pattern match my description?

Best,

A name like that is just asking for another WG7 treatment of the castle.  The Elmer Fudd and Tweety Bird sub-levels, anyone?
