This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

First edition DC Heroes (the boxed set with all the standees and cards and stuff)....couldn't get it back from the fucker I lent it to when, to quote the killers, we were young.

Other than that I would have loved to have gotten Dune, though given it died on arrival it's probably no great shakes.

You know, MERP actually does a great job of modelling Middle Earth.  But it's the Middle Earth of the Hobbit where your average troll hole yeilds enough gold to buy a small kingdom and three powerful magic swords.  Heck even a non-combat encounter with a decrepit old hobbit yeilds a ring of invisibility.  The GM even ganks the big dragon that's out of the party's league with an NPC so they can gain a massive treasure.

And yeah, MERP magic is very limited, no over casting so you're stuck with spells of your level or less making a 10' r fireball eighth level.  Enjoy your hot cup of tea mister Mage.  (well unless your GM lets you get away with boiling the water in a person's brain)

gods YES, that one too. I know a friend who doesn't even play rpgs very often, and he will not part with that OR the Watchmen suppliment, despite my generous offers of cash and hints as degrading sexual favors. Damn him to hell.

Not a personal trial so much as someone else's, but I'm amazed at the number of people who can't find Nobilis 2e. I'm actually selling my copy later today to a friend of a friend because it's so unplayably bad.

I lent it him as a kid and the fucker refused to ever return it. That was years ago. God knows whatever happened to it. I'd love to know because I thought they did a really good job accomodating the various power levels and origins and the box had a shit ton of stuff. Of course DC's sensibilities then are not as they are now. :D

I also had the FASA Dr Who rpg as well which I bleive I sold on years ago also.

I don't remember it being hard to find: I do remember it being very expensive at the time, oddly shaped, and massively overhyped if the gushfest at the Purple Palace was any indication.
