And the other stuff that I don't have in my notebook. I was going to auction this stuff off at a local Con but changed my mind. Or, as my wife would say, I failed my WILL save.

I had about twice this much stuff when I first met my wife. She doesn't hate gaming, I just needed to make room for her, and then the kids when they were born.

Thanks for all the offers, everyone (especially for KABAL) - but I'm keeping the collection.

I'm a collector. Even better than that, when I became a game writer it turned into a research library.

I posted earlier that I had purchased Farscape d20 and I wasn't sure I was going to ever get the chance to use it.

[Hijack]

Well, Farscape was suddenly cancelled yesterday. The show can still be saved, but we need everyone's help. The sets will be destroyed next week, so immediate responses are needed. All the details are in my SIG.

[/Hijack]

I'm going to make a point of getting use out of that book now, regardless of whether or not the show is saved.

 

[Mobius]

Ars Magica (grogs?)
Call of Cthulu, sp. ed (too good a book)
Hackmaster (I game with a bunch of anti-D&D freaks)
RoleMaster (waaaay too involved)
3e (not my cup of tea)

and, most heartbreakingly:
All Flesh Must Be Eaten
(no one will play this with me)

I figured you would say that, but hey it never hurts to ask

I have a lot of my stuff but some old edition games have over time gone somewhere (like socks in the dryer) and I have no idea where they dissapeared to.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Ravenloft

You know, I feel like a total geek right now because when the first poster said that "rings are expensive", I thought that he was talking about the "Lord of the Rings Core rulebook"...

Oh man, you SHOULD feel that way! When I read it I thought they were talking about the Forge Ring feat

Re: pout

-MetaBarons- wow, Moebius and Jodorowsky! Sweet! What a great universe, too bad we just don't have the time or inclination to actually learn a completely new system.

I do not understand this one, the game is composed of two books: a rulebook, and a backround book.

I've bought the backround book for my brother, it has absolutly no RPG stats in it! It was meant to be a nice book to fan of John Difool and l'Incal, i.e. comics reader. You can use the backround book with the dragonstar rules and the psi handbook, and voilà.

The rulebook use the old star wars d6 system, so you shouldn't have difficulties to find players who know the system.

My list:

GURPS basic set
GURPS fantasy folk
GURPS mecha

AD&D 1st edition:
Player Handbook
Dungeon Master guide
monster manual
monster manual II

AD&D 2e:
A player's primer to the outland
House of Stradh (the moment my player see the cover of the book, they say NOOOO! )

 

[Irysangel]

I might be the only person in creation that has....

The Elfquest RPG put out by Chaosium!

And sadly, nobody ever wanted to play wif me.....

 

[WanderingMonster]

Continuum is a time travel game that jazzes me up on so many levels, but I cannot get my group to agree to play it - not even for a one-shot. On day, I will attend a Convention demo-ing this game, and pick up not only the feel of the game, but also some pointers on how to hook my players into at least playing it once.

Well, I almost got to play, except that the day we made characters, my wife (who is part of the gaming group) and the rest of the group had such a angry argument about the nature of time paradox, that I knew we could never play. I can wish, though...

Nobilis by Hogshead Games. Looks great, reads great. Will I ever get to play it? Probably not.

 

[Trevalon Moonleirion]

I'm very guilty of this... VERY guilty.. LOL

*Aeon (before it was known as Trinity)
