OD&D Holmes in shrink with dice on auction to support Darlene the artist, creator of the Greyhawk map.

Yep, my copy. Pride of my collection (after I sold my white box a few years ago). But it's just sitting in my trunk here. If I can help support Darlene, it's a no-brainer.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the situation with Darlene?

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the situation with Darlene?

Her home is in significant disrepair and she needs major fixes to keep living there.

Save Queen Anne!, organized by Darlene NLN

Queen Anne is dying. She was born in 1901 in a small town in North Carolina. I’m doing all I can to save… Darlene NLN needs your support for Save Queen Anne!

Do you have a Facebook post?

Edit, just found it. Thanks!

WOW. Still that pristine! Who kept theirs still unused!

I already have multiple copies, and I don't use most of them, but I hope that it goes for a pretty penny and helps out.

Me, apparently I have another, and I've had this one for about 20 years, so it just stayed in my trunk.

It was pointed out to me that some of the copies, even though they had dice in the photo, did not have dice but had chits (5th printing I think). When I originally listed the item I said it has dice and not chits largely based on the photo on the back and the text "includes polyhedral dice". But now I'm not so sure and I can't change the listing. The box sounds like it has dice, but I can't be 100% sure. And I suspect this is a bit of schrodinger's dice. Because who is going to buy this and open it to make sure? I have no idea why someone would buy a sealed shrinkwrapped box and then open it. That...defeats the purpose and value lol.

When I got my new box set back when I was a kid, it had the chits and then a coupon you could send in for a free set of dice (apparently there was a temporary supply and demand issue and TSR was having trouble getting enough dice at the time)

My son, trying to be a good boyfriend, got his GF at the time a shrink wrapped limited edition album, as a collectors piece.

She tore it open in front of him after thanking him and played it. He died a little because the difference between played, and open to sealed untouched was roughly x10.

Yeah definitely the sort of thing you gotta be super clear about before it’s opened.

Bonus points, my Wife and I told him "You are out of your mind, just get her a used copy so she can play it." Live and learn.
