Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd wander on over and ask about another item which recently came into my possession...

It's called "The Black Tower," by David Guinasso and Stephen Abrams, published in 1981 by Midkemia Press.  This is "A complete 'dungeon' adventure for low to mid-level FRP characters," and can be used with Dungeons & Dragons, Chivalry & Sorcery, Arduin, RuneQuest, Tunnels and Trolls and DragonQuest, but was specifically designed as a companion to "Tulan of the Isles" by Feist and Abrams (Midkemia Press).  Apparently this press was based in San Diego, CA.

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?  Is this a particularly rare and/or sought-after module?  Any help is appreciated!  

Cheers,
JohnH

Like all of the Midkemia stuff, very well written. However, due to it's easier availability (due to the free download) it is less sought after.  Not always the case, before the download was available in the mid 90's a copy used to bring about $50 at auction, I believe it was one of the harder to find Midkemia items (lower print run?).

well its still one of them items that seems to get decent bids on, so i guess you never know really...!

good luck chummer

Yeah, John, there's a lot in what Allan and Mike are saying (as usual!).
I hedge slightly on valuations when there's no pic, too; presuming VGish or thereabouts... Doesn't do any favors to tell someone their rarity is worth big bucks only to find out the condition means it falls short of initial optimistic guesses.

Re. your Black Tower, I couldn't find the realisation for the one I won, but am fairly certain it was less than the $32 paid for a sweet copy of Tulan (Stephen was unlucky there...).

However, looking around eBay, now seems like a pretty good time to sell.
Your only "competition" is Ian's copy that has been sat at $72 BIN for some time.
Have to agree with Mike in that it isn't a particularly common item, too.

such as Dungeons & Dragons, Chivalry & Sorcery, Arduin, RuneQuest, Tunnels & Trolls and DragonQuest, but was specifically designed as a companion to TULAN OF THE ISLES by Raymond Feist (yes, *that* Feist!)...

*yay* for being able to include all that in the description without keyword spamming!

Good luck, John!
