Not to long ago BigMac, if my memory is correct, found 4 AD&D modules that went for $1,500 on ebay. If they were the Competition modules I have PRF (adobe) copies of C1 thru C6.
Hi Melatuis,
Usually the only adventures that go for that sort of price are the very early ones (Lost Tamoachan, Lost Caverns of Tsojconth, Quest for the Fazzlewood), the R-series and the extremely rare UK module Shade mentioned (ST1: Up the Garden Path).
The Acaeum has a good pricing guide for the ultra-rare D&D products. But according to that pricing guide none of the C-series are worth more than $20, even for a near mint version!
At the moment, I think the only D&D monster stats that I don't already have in print or PDF form are the stats for the Chinese Hill Giants from Tsojconth. If you happen to have a copy of those, I'd love to see them.

Firstly, I must say what a godsend this forum is by updating cool yet overlooked 2nd ED creatures into 3.5 , and recently I was thrilled to see the Ogre Slug revamped, I remember tackling this ugly mug back in the day when I played Dungeon Hack on the PC, and always wondered when I stated to play the real thing with friends what book did it originate from. Little did I know it only existed as a PC game beasty only and another creature I fought in that game was something called a Grave Mist, anyone familiar with that one, and if so convert it some day? Much obliged !
I wasn't sure where else to post this since EN World is such a large forum and I don't seem to see anything covering Ghostwalk, reading the Grave Mist entry gave me an idea to create alternate rules attached to it for use in the Ghostwalk champaign setting and their rules of death and ectoplasmic ghosts, what do you think:
Quote:
Grave Mists in the Ghostwalk Champaign: Grave Mists have no interests in feeding on ectoplasm, and therefore ignore ghosts (unless the ghost attacks them first), favoring the life force lingering upon corpses and the living.
A dead PC who was killed by a Grave Mist has their spirit blighted and raised as another grave mist as the Crate Spawn ability normally, The PC’s soul trapped within a befouled envelope of unlife, it cannot enter the veil to either manifest as a ghost or cross over until its cursed form is destroyed first. This does not include any future grave mists it creates, although should it have created other spawn before being destroyed and manifests as a ghost, he looses control over them and turn against him for revenge. After being destroyed, should the spirit wish to manifest as a ghost, a saving throw (DC 15 fortitude) is required. Should the PC succeed he/she manifests normally, failure indicates the festering taint of the grave mist still remains, and the ghost’ appearance is always manifests in the gruesome category no matter what wounds the body sustained before death. A gentle repose spell cast by a 5th level spell caster purges the lingering blight from its ectoplasm allowing the ghost to appear the way it should.
A ghost PC slain by a grave mist on the other hand does not become another grave mist, instead the raw ectoplasm remains intact for 1d4 rounds undergoing a blighted metamorphosis into a new necroplasm (Ghostwalk p. 168). Not until the same necroplasm (the PC’s soul infested by blight and not any others it may have created itself) is destroyed and the imprisoned soul freely pass through the veil into the true afterlife, can the body of the PC be raised from the dead normally
I don't know Ghostwalk really myself, but maybe Shade wouldn't mind adding that to the entry. Besides a typo ("looses" instead of "loses"), that looks pretty good!

oops thanks for catching that, stupid auto spell checker!

Thanks, I'm glad you like the idea, many of these classic creatures are ripe for re-imagining in specific Settings like what they've been doing in Pathfinder. Here's an updated version with corrections:

OH I had another request, any chance you could convert the Giant Pitcher Plant and Giant Venus Flytrap from the 1st ed Dragon Mag Creature Catalogues? Need some lesser dangerous plants, the Flaytrap is practically a lesser version of a Greenvise. Thanks
Absolutely! I've got a number of fey lined up in the Dragon queue for this month, but planned on a plant theme for March, so will probably hit them then.

That's great to hear, while I'm at it I put together a small list of plant monsters you may consider with the issue #s attached, including the ones I already requested
I checked, and none of those seem to have been converted yet. (Although the Killer Spruce is a joke entry from an April Fool's issue, so its stats are a little... odd!)

Hey, you guys did convert the Blink Wholly Mammoth, the Pigeontoad, and the dreaded Death Sheep to name a few from that fun issue, so anythings possible I'm still waiting for the edible Jello Monster !
Oh yes, April always brings back the "Send in the clowns..." thread. We'll see if we can give the killer spruce and jell-o monster their due this year.

I feel like an ass. I didn't know this thread existed, just went thought what I think is the hole converting dragons thread, and asked for a Purple Dragon conversion so yeah. I'll request one here. Can someone please convert the Purple Dragon? I'd do anything I could to help....
and another creature I fought in that game was something called a Grave Mist, anyone familiar with that one, and if so convert it some day? Much obliged
