[QUOTE="billd91, post: 3683152, member: 3400"] I have it, didn't like it much. Too dungeon-crawley (which is my main complaint with the original), too many hodge-podge monsters there to provide an appropriate challenge rather than be particularly rational, makes too little sense within Greyhawk's content and feel. As for why it goes for $50, that's not that much of a mark up over its initial $35 cost (if I remember its cover price right). Personally, I try not to pay over cover price for anything that I don't have really fond memories of. Buying sight unseen or based on other people's reviews may rate cover price, but not a $75 collectible price. That's nuts. Back when Magic was all the rage, prices at Gen Con for out of print materials sky-rocketed. You'd see things like 1st ed Oriental Adventures for $55. It was pretty crazy and, I'm sure, predicated on the idea that the market was primed for paying collectibility prices. I can tell you, I didn't buy much from the resellers those years. I couldn't afford to. [/QUOTE]
