Well, I'll leave off DCC17.5 ATM 'cos it's d20. The others are all 1E aren't they? Or was 12.5 the only 1E module? On that basis I believe DCC3.5 and DCC12.5 will hold value. The first on account of its author and the second on account of it being award winning. Goodman Games can screw it all up by reprinting another 1000 copies when it needs the cash. ATM thats a $275 gamble I'm willing to take, but I'm verry aware that I might end up sitting on dead stock. There is more investment security in pre-1990 D&D, but then you have to take opportunities when they present themselves.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

12.5 was the only one done for 1st ed. EVERY other DCC is 3rd edition.

- 20.5 $50-70.

I will second all of these prices. Pretty much what I come up with from my experience & research.

It turns out the "misprint" is less of a misprint than an error in the cutting of the cover. The map on the inside cover is partially cut off, with the map key cut in half. The cover remains normal looking. Probably would have missed it if not for the letter of authenticity and explanation that came with the module.

Well, since I am one of the handful of 'DCC completists', I figure my opinion should count for something here.

I would say that what you have won't be worth anything. If it was something like the Orange B3, where there was objectionable material and it was recalled & destroyed, then heck yeah! But printing errors happen all the time, and I don't consider this any sort of 'variant' printing.

Does anyone have any idea what the total print runs for these were. If I am not mistaken there were only 60 originally made for 12.5 1st ed., but then there was a second printing of how many? I have looked some on Goodman Games website but wasnt able to find this info.

Not only was that info not posted, I believe Goodman's intentions are to not make that info known.

I agree with Gus. This type of "misprint" is less a collectible than a curio. A misprint that is valuable typically contains some sort of unusual material....a simple printing error is not the sort of error that excites collectors.

Wasnt' printing info for 3.5 slipped out at one time? I seem to remember seeing a figure of a 100 copies somewhere in my reading but could be wrong.

I believe 3.5 ran to 100 copies and 20.5 ran to 217 copies. The 17 additional copies were required to fill extra orders that they had taken but not counted when limiting ordering. 3.5 of couse was not available for ordering prior to stock appearing at the con'.

The old Zeitgeist Games forums (which have been lost I believe with the move to dablackmoor site) said that besides the number printed at GenCon they woud try to print more for Zeitgeist Games forum members (or those that emailed Dustin Clingman). I was reading those boards then and remember emailing Dustin, but don't recall getting any reply (though I did pick a copy up at that GenCon). What I don't recall that well is any exact printing number but it was low.

Great list Gus! Now we need scans. How about a Acaeum subweb dedicated to Goodman Games DCC adventures? Would be fun.

Geez...I am not a completist by any means but I do want one of each published module. With the release of the modules that Goodman Games just reprinted I am only missing 3.5, 14, 17.5, and 20.5. Anyone got an extra DCC #14 Dungeon Interludes they want to part with? :wink:

I don't have a scanner, otherwise I could scan them all. I do however have pics of all of them from the Goodman Games site. Don't know if we could use those though.

Also wonder how much some of the DCC stuff that wasn't sold will eventually be worth.

Example: the player's guides for the DCC tournaments at Gencon, the GM's tourney copies of the modules, the Goodman Games bookmark that has a picture of the baddie from DCC 3.5. Tournament trophies from Gencon. The official colored battlemaps from the cons. The list could go on.

Since I'm "the superfan" I'm gifted with some of this great stuff, and don't plan to sell any, but it would be nice to know that I've got some "sweet" items.

Rock on,

Yep, the numbers are sure getting up there aren't they. Just missing 1st prints:
8
14 (as is KOP)

& looking for better condition copies of
Knights of the dinner table
&
En World.

So if anyone has any just let me know

The covers are on the Goodman Games site, but as mentioned I don't know if Joseph will let them be used here or not -hopefully he would.
