I was stunned! Since most of this I had just passed over as not worth posting on ebay before (or just remembered the JG connection), I was thinking I would be lucky if got $300 total for the 12 lots (and some of the lots were indeed unrelated piles of stuff) ...instead $931!

Thanks to all who participated!

Just before 6PM, I was at my mom's house with my sister and spouses when I borrowed her iPad (at 91 after she got it, she asked "does the restaurant have wifi?" and I replied, "yes, but you do sound like a 19-year-old!") to check on the auctions. Just before 6PM, I was thinking, oh well, maybe $200 will be the total.

So after the auctions ended, when my family's jubilation subsided, my mom said "maybe you can sell opportunities to meet you?" (Always thinking!) But sounds like wishful thinking to me.

Then I thought maybe we should do a D&D Collectors' cruise (natural tie in with my real job) and invite various industry folks to do talks on board. Would anyone go? (Just need 5 cabins for the group rate.) Who should we invite?

Hey Bill,

Oooh depending on when it would be, I'd fly out from Hong Kong for it.

You should come out to North Texas RPG Con in June...  

Found an odd bit of JG history that I was using on and off for 34 years: a notebook that Bob had written a to-do list on the cover. See:

You can see what we were puzzling about back in 1977.

Hmmm ... if a gamer's cruise be the theme ... wonder about the possibilities of a paddle-wheel steamer down the Mississippi from Chicago to New Orleans or some such. That is, if such things still exist in this modern age ... with a bunch of cutthroat gamers aboard and all ... almost appropriate to schedule around Talk Like a Pirate day ...

I uploaded my last eBay auctions tonight and while there's no JG/FRP stuff there's a big weird selection of odd stuff if you want to see my swan song... go to seller gamedesign4u

The main news is that I  hope to upload the final edition of the JG coffee table book shortly! I will be back here when it's on line.

Pat & I have moved to Belize and I have gotten around to uploading the long-awaited coffee table edition of the JG history originally published 3 years ago with 36 pages. With 127% more pages (each over twice as big) with lots more pictures and text and most of the original pictures larger... this is a blockbuster!

Leads off with an embarrassing correction of the first edition! INCLUDES the original, full-size versions Tegal Manor and City State maps. This is a hard-cover, premium paper, case-wrap, full-cover, double-swanky edition

If you order before 11/30/11, you MAY get an additional discount off the early-bird 20% or maybe 35% instead of 20%... here are the details:

Thanks for letting me know that the coupon worked. I had noted a  coupon for 25% off thru today (with coupon code HOLIDAYNOW) but regardless figure you get the higher of the 2 and assume it's after my current $30 discount.

On the www.lulu.com home page they imply that they may have a better deal on 'Cyber Monday'.

I hope you like it!

We are 2 hours in land so no problem with hurricanes but I suppose closer to the cutpurses. Of course, we had nearly triple the crime rate in Decatur.
