Would anyone wish for a chart like was done for TSR modules here: AD&D Mod Chrt , and does anyone have ideas as to level ranges for said products?

Sure that would be very useful. Good luck guessing what the original Badabaskor should be.

They would be for the system they were written for.

But to my real question. How often, if ever, do the Tac Cards come up on ebay.

I owned them way back in the day, around 79 or so. Of course, I have no idea what happened to them...

In slightly under two years, I have seen them come up two or three times....never a complete set, but almost complete.

It seems to me that they sold in the high range...$70 or so?

Judges Guild adventures often had no levels...or scenarios for multiple levels of characters.

Verbosh would be a good example...all kinds of challenges in the same module.

How often have the Character Chronicle Cards come up in the past year or two?

Thanks.

i have also never seen one on ebay. if there was, i can guarantee you that it would have been very heavily stomped on by me at least....not to mention about at least a dozen others.

Dark Tower would be a good example of the problems in scaling Judges Guild adventures.

There are NPC's (gods and ghosts) and magical items that Jaquays specifically states could be used to help a lower level party along.

There are challenges that are worthy opponents for high level guys and also encounters with pitifully weak creatures and people.

SPOILER ALERT!

Verbosh is a mini campaign setting that features multiple encounter areas, including a tower that starts with first level monsters on the ground floor (as you Brits say) and ends with a demon lord at the top.  Other adventure areas include an undercity dungeon (rats and the like...including one cheerfully random fellow who has 25 hit points), a ruined city (liche) and a sunken ship (the usual suspects) as well as more than one encounter involving a dragon's lair.  You can encounter a vampire in the city streets...or a rat.

(Verbosh, by the way, is one of the best reads and most amusing and interesting settings I have ever found.  Penny for penny, it is the best gaming value I know.)

Try giving Verbosh a level rating.  

Hi Alan, its very nice to see you back posting again.
