I have a copy (which is why I didn't raise my bid ), and it's an interesting book:  more of a Joseph-Campbell-like book about the mythic structure of quests, and how to apply that to D&D.  I haven't had a chance to read it yet, though, so that's the best summary I can provide at this point.

I thought about putting in a token bid as well but I have one already too.  They typically sell for between $5 and $15 so its not really a big ticket item but its not that bad of a book.  I seem to think that it has some basic plot lines that you can expand on as well but they are pretty typical quest ones.

I've not filled out the description yet, but it's a fairly good read if you're a DM.

Any updates coming for the site

Life is very busy ATM. Wish I could be buying more stuff on eBay 'cos I seem to have missed a lot of things I'd have liked for my collection. Yes, there will be a big update at some point, but at the moment I haven't pencilled it in for any time in particular.

It's good to see The Acaeum stays the same. I read the boards when I get the chance. In the mean time I'm still looking for that info on Castle Bram you were gonna forward to me, Mark. It fills a gap.

I loving raising threads from the dead!  


I tracked down the back stock of this book, and received my copy today.  Staple rust, and light shelf wear from being moved around for over 25 years, but complete, tight, and clean.  It looks pretty interesting!

If anyone else is interested in a copy, please PM me for details and I will point you at the store that has them.  I have no financial stake in this; I simply told the store I'd point more collectors at them once my copy was in hand.

I'm holding the information instead of posting it, solely to help make sure that anyone who wants a copy can get one, and no one tries to scoop them all up (and if that favors regulars over lurkers, so be it).  But the estimate of a few dozen remaining means that is probably not necessary anyway.  *shrug*

The price was right - $12 plus shipping.

Nice little book. At $12 a copy, I'd sit on the stock and leak them onto eBay over time. Well worth $20 and reletively rare for those who can't track it down.

I don't have enough room to store the ones I want to keep!
Instead, I'll make a few people here happy.

Thank you good sir!
