How about a copy of Castle Zagyg The Upper Works Boxed Set for less than $100 US

I have Startone and the White Dwarf issue (#34) you are talking about, but what is SA? I am VERY interested if there is more Starstone material out there worth tracking down.

Please let me know what SA stands for so I can seek out #17 of it. lol

SA probably stands for Sorcerer's Apprentice magazine.

I think there was a little mixup. "Hard Times in Hoxley" contains a village and short adventure for the Midkemia system, not Starstone.

Doh! Apparently I was asleep at the wheel or otherwise out of my brain or something when posting my lists. Sorry: yes, the SA 17 material is for Midkemia....

Ah, now it all makes sense.

I like the Midkemia line, too... so it's all good.

Probably paid too much for them but how often do you see the majority of them all together? So now I need to reorganize my list.

1. The Infernax

2. Your Paladin Has Been Stolen!! (By Druids!)

3. Dragonlord

4. Fluffy Quest

5. ???

Cant decide. Castle Perilous? Catapult Run? Tombs of Valla? Anyone want to give me a better choice to go with?

By the way, anyone got a spare copy of The Plateau - Capital of Evil laying around?

Congrats on taking one off the list!

Strangely enough another will appear to take its place.

Don't have a spare but I would like some of the other ones you got in that lot.

Unfortunately, I only have The Plateau Capital of Evil and Bavenlon: Danger In The Dark Forest.

Those were the only two that interested me at the time I purchased them a while ago. Wish I would have picked the rest up.

That's a great score at a great price. I think there are a few more as well.

Do you /really/ think that?

A good trio; steering closer to "core" non-TSR, a first print Catapult Run might be the better target rather than declaring intent on Tombs of Valla given that one's previous auction history.

To be truthful....no. But if the bid had been pushed up to what I put in as my proxy....then yes....definitely. But I honestly wasnt sure what to expect since I have seen very few of the Silverdawn adventures/supplements on Ebay.

I can't recall any recent auction prices for Tombs of Valla. I would expect somewhere in the $200 ballpark though. Of course I am hoping to follow in Killjoy32's footsteps by snagging one for $10 on Amazon one of these days.

I have read through Catapult Run and it looks like a fun adventure so that will probably end up in the #5 spot.

I remember bidding on Frank's when he sold a bunch and the price being in the $90 range for each one - I think I lost them all to Lofenloc but then found some copies for cheap shortly after.

Tombs of Valla is probably in the $250 range.

I think that's about what they went for. They're pretty rare, especially the base game WITH the map.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

I think the last 3 or 4 have sold for about half that.
