My guess is that few Palladium books would be worth more then cover price. Palladium did lots of prints runs on their books so it was rare to see things go out of print.
That might be why there are so many Palladium books in used book stores around here.

Actually, if i found one of those books, I'd probably keep them. I love TMNT!

Well, I looked in my copy and I have to say that those tables are pretty politically incorrect... for the 80's that is. Some of it would be inappropriate now too.
FYI... my copy says Second Printing 1984.

Hmm... now that's interesting. I've definitely never seen a hardbound Palladium book. Of course, I wasn't really looking for one... so I might have missed such a book. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

The setting stayed the same the rules changed to be more like what they have in their other game lines. For creativity, Palladium Fantasy and its many books are great. If you want ideas the books Bill Coffin write have more ideas per page then most any other gaming product I can think of. It is a very good setting.
Looking him up on the Pen & Paper web site right now.

The one I'm thinking of has a Sexual Deviation table. I found a reference on line that has it in the third printing, so it could be in yours.

Of his Palladium Fantasy books Baalgor Wastelands, and The Library of Bletherad are my favorite.
There was an NPC inspired by me that ended up on the cutting room floor of Mount Nimro, Kingdom of Giants. That information serves no purpose in this thread other then I really wanted to mention it.

It is.

Well, Pen & Paper isn't complete. Bill Coffin actually posted on it and listed his other books...

Hi! Great site. On my bio, you forgot to include my credits for The Western Empire, The Baalgor Wastelands, Mount Nimro, the Library of Bletherad, Systems Failure, the Anvil Galaxy, and one or two others, I think. You might want to go to Palladium's web site for a full listing. Thanks!
Pen & Paper really needs an update!
What are the two books, that you mentioned, about? What's the story behind those books? Also... Do you know if Coffin has written anything for any other companies?

That's a piece of gaming history. The type of thing that gets passed down from father to son.
Heh! Heh!
Hmm...
Now I'm wondering about whether or not I'll keep it or trade it. Decisions, Decisions!

Man, I actually found some old TMNT stuff at a Used Book Store once. Never bought it though. I wonder if I should be kicking myself right now.

He was doing something for West End Games but that fell fklat. The book I think was shopped around and may have been picked up by another company. I haven't heard anything to confirm that nor have I heard anything about it in months.
Baalgor Wastelands is literally, a giant wasteland. But there are literally a thousand little adventurer ideas in it. I talked to Bill Coffin at a connection about it and one of his goals was to place as many little hooks in the book as possible.
The Library of Bletherad is a fantasy version of the library of Alexandria. There are lots of neat things that cover all sorts of things because the library is a collection of information from all over the Palladium world.
Both books do have a good amount of game mechanics in them, so they are not as system clear as say GURPS source books are.

There is a used book store near me that has a used copy of TMNT and they have it for $50 which is saying something since I tend to get gaming stuff there for great prices. I found a Planscape Planes of Chaos for 8$ just last year.

Wow, that's a lot. I don't think I'd spend that much for it.

Lucky!
Planescape stuff is really hard to find in my area. Whyte Knight has a few books, but I've ended up buying other things instead. The store has both Planescape MC 1 and MC 2 for CAN $25 each.

Now that sounds interesting.

It is rare here too. I pick up the occasional book I find at used stores but I imagine I average finding maybe one a year.
