Thanks for all the responses.  I am wondering if it's a distribution thing, too, being that I haven't seen that #35 Gazetteer anywhere around the Los Angeles, Phoenix and Tucson areas the last couple of months. I do remember seeing one copy of that many months ago in Burbank, but the CZ:UW I have definitely not seen at all.

Good comparison. Spot on.

I know there are die hard GG fans on this board, but DCC#51 is only likely to be collectable on the back of the average quality of the rest of the DCC line being reletively high. As a sole product it is pretty poor and written in a knee jerk fashion to fill the perceived mega-dungeon hole in the market as a quick money maker. It's only marginally better that AEG's Worlds Worst Dungeon or whatever it was called. DCC#51 can thank it's lucky stars that the DCC designation will keep it's resale values higher than the $30 sale values we've seen, but even in five years, I don't see it topping $100 too often.

DCC#30 TE is one for the DCC collectors. I don't think the quality of the miniatures is that great per se, so it's unlikely to appeal to the miniature market, but I think this will be a must have for the die hard DCC collector.

Were the UK releases of the Goodman Games modules or box sets in any way different than the U.S. ones?

Nope. Identical, right down to the over-tight shrinkwrap that causes the lid to bow in the way.

As i said in the other thread, if you find a Ravenloft Tarokka deck  by Sword & Sorcery / White Wolf in your FLGS pick it up.  It's worth quite a lot now.

Awesome writing/art/storyline

OOP and not going to be reprinted.  Though many want them to, they are more focused on the miniature Warmachine/Hordes line of products.

The whole RPG line is freaking gold if you can find it cheap.

So, if I can ask:  Hold on to the IK collection, or sell into the 'market'?

Well I'm holding onto mine, but not for profit, because I love the setting.
It maybe right to sell now if your intention is to make a profit, since 3.5 is doing pretty well and that helps.  Down the road who knows.  But the chatter on their forums is still for some looking to get the books.

Hmm... re-reading my post, the tone is a little off... Apologies if it came out a bit mercenary-istic  :oops:

It's just that I haven't played the setting, and probably won't because of opportunity rather than desire,  so perhaps it's a good time to get the books into hands of those who'd better appreciate them.

Thanks for the feedback, Shane   :D

There was an early TLG release called Calal's Grave. Anyone know if this is worth picking up, or what the quality of the writings is like? There appears to be no PDF.

The title of this thread is mercenary-istic ;)

And yes, if you're not going to be playing the game and have no interest in the books collection-wise, then it's best to sell them to someone who will appreciate them.

Galal's Grave done by Fiend Games, though published by Troll Lord Games.
This is from 2000, so production quality, etc not great.  Adventure not that aspiring enough for me to remember, though I think I read this back then and not since.
