The digest sized books are an earlier edition that had 5 books compared with the *craft line which put all the rules, etc into 3. So somewhat similar in concept but the later Spellcraft book also contains more info from the other books too.

Hey Mars,

How often do these books come up on Ebay?
It's the first that I've seen but I'm sure my filters aren't as good as some of the others on here are for searching.

Best regards,
Ronald

The 5 digest sized book set is the most common and probably shows up a few times a year. There are a few different printings of the set as well. Most of the time all the books are present but maybe the cover sheet is missing. Personally, I'm not convinced that all sets came with a cover sheet.

The *craft set of 3 books is very difficult to complete a set. Rolecraft and Spellcraft come up every so often but the 3rd book is very difficult to find. They are generally sold individually (as they were sold individually).

There are other editions as well but these seem to be the ones that show up the most and sell the cheapest. The 5 books set generally sells in the $40-75 range, Spellcraft/Rolecraft sell for $25-$40 each and Worldcraft can get higher.

City State Set of the World Emperor is incomplete missing the city color map and has only 1 book (Seller noted map missing but must think it only needs the one book; the World Emperor set should have three books though).

But the rest of the lot looks in real good condition and complete.

Wraith Overlord and City State of the Invinsible Overlord are each selling for around $45-50 each these days.

Just 4 hours left.

Hey Mars,

Thanks for the information.

I take it that you own a set yourself?
What did you think of the system?

They look interesting enough that I might pick them up just to take a look.

Best regards,
Ronald

Hey everyone,

Not sure if anyone here collects Battletech at all.

But saw some nice early edition guides available at cheap starting bids.

Pity as I would have bid on them.

Hey everyone,

Don't think this item has been mentioned yet:

Lot of 14 WILD HUNT Fan Magazine Fantasy RPG D&D 1980s

** eBay auction listing blocked. Please enable cookies in your browser for this site and for eBay! **

I'm sure there are fanzine collectors here.

Best regards,

Ronald

http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-1982-IRON-C ... 6674808358

BIN is $69.95 with the Make an Offer button.

Shipping is $8.15 (economy?!) :roll:

Anyway; Does anyone know if this item is worth anywhere near the asking price?

The one above is from the crimson assurance dude.

At $75... with free shipping, so near the same price.

if CPA has his at $75, then you know that's too much. besides, if it was then i would have bid more to get the lot with the beastmaker mountain et al.

I'd ask Stratochamp.... Does that box look flattened, or is that the way it came out?

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

That item is a set of loose sheets/cards, not a box set.

I think yes. But currently, since market value is way lower than 2-3 years ago, not sure... These last weeks I have spot 3 1st print like this one, and no any sold (even at $29). I'd like to buy one... no more than $25 though.

Flat from the box sheets, cut in two.

I gave up as soon as it was advertised at y-s.

We'll just have to keep looking for another one listed way too low (remember that one for $15 a few months back?).

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

Oh I hadn't even noticed it was posted there. I was already surprised nobody mentioned it here.

Yeah I remember even talking about it at the local gamestore but there are no collectors there so they just nodded politely and smiled
