Totally agree, but I wouldn't be looking to pay more that $6-8 in the US on account of the current seller sitting on three whole boxes of dead stock he can't shift. Wait and you'll get one cheap.

The international shipping kills the deal in the UK unless you're willing to buy multiple copies and spread the cost. That's how I got my copies and I think I have a few left for those in the UK looking to buy.

Here's a Furioso. Seller also has some Gazetteers for low bids.

When was the last time anyone saw a RPG type Intellivision game?
Much less the Dungeons and Dragons cartridge in the original box and looking complete with instruction booklet and even the small instruction card?

Starting price of just $10.

Actually, these are pretty easy to find.  Ten bucks is about the normal price on these, even with the box and overlays.  The sequel, Treasure of Tarmin is also about the same price.  I believe that later on Mattel changed the title on the box/cartridge for the first game to read AD&D: Cloudy Mountain in order to make it easier to distinguish between the second game.  Pretty sure it is harder to find.



I have an extra if you want one.

That one seems to show up a little more often (still not common) than the other Dimension Six adventures.  Not sure why.

Then about 18 months ago they became really uncommon, even with the likes of NKG. A lot of the non-TSR stuff has become scarse. I presume it is because there are more collectors in the market, and more traditional TSR collectors have diversified on the back of discussion and the expanding knowledge base on the boards. I remember Starstone cropping up three or four times a year, and now Starstone and Seren Ironhand are real rarities.

I havent seen a copy of Starstone on Ebay in I dont know how long.  While it and Seren Ironhand are two of my favorite non-TSR modules, I dont own any of the Dimension Six books.  Are they any good?

I think there were two Starstones and one Seren last year.

Curiously, I hear there may be republications in the future.

Still working on it

Does that make sense?

Yep; makes sense here.

Don't be. Seriously.

It might require consideration if thinking about breaking the spine of a $50 book and using that in one-off game, making pencil annotations, etc., but if purely reading for interest/inspiration/enjoyment/research/etc. one method is just to cradle it in a DM's screen or large format cheap kid's book - and I used to get anything overly rare sent in those by default as they're pretty much indestructible - with a comic book bag underneath: no spine creases, bends, or thumbmarks and shouldn't break the spine on pretty much any book with very few exceptions (e.g. 3rd print woodgrain if not being careful). If paranoid about fingersmudges, say, or for lengthier reading/note transcription, it's easy enough to tape paper or clear strips to the outside cover and wrap those around to help hold the book open: better to use a large, cheap hardback in that case, for obvious reasons.
e.g.


Apols. if all that kinda goes without saying, but hey...

Dang! Would've snapped that up had I seen it early enough.
