I bought the Advanced Fighting Fantasy books I was missing (Allansia, Titan, Out of the Pit); Allansia was about £30. Of course, a few weeks later, 2e gets announced, which has much of the content anyway...

At the moment though, I think I'm good. I'd like to get a copy of Karma for SLA Industries, I just can't quite justify buying gearbooks because that side of games doesn't interest me much.

TSR's Warriors of Mars, by Gygax and Blume.

The Guidon Games one? Yellow cover?

I'd probably still pick up GDQ Queen of Spiders if I found one in good condition with the map book for unreasonably cheap even though I have all the component modules.

But over the past 15 years I chased down most of my grails and found that for me it was often better desiring them than owning them.

For lack of a better analogy, it's almost like trying to "recapture" the sensation of one's first love, after many years of absence.  But when one encounters that person of one's first love again, that long ago sensation is completely gone.

(Awhile ago I encountered my first gf again, after not seeing her in decades).

I sold that, and my EPT, at the same time I sold CHAINMAIL.

Being poor, especially when you live in NYC, sucks.

I've always wanted a copy of Nexus the Infinite City... but that's mostly based on my thinking that it would somehow be Matt Howarth's aborted Bugtown RPG with the IP scraped off... which it probably isn't.
It's not that hard to find but whenever I do the person selling it wants just that bit more than I'm willing to pay.

At this point, I don't really have a Holy Grail to chase anymore. I've gotten all the books I had been looking for. Most of them ended up being a disappointment, and I either sold them or gave them away.

This.

Still, I'd like to get a second Rules Cyclopedia, but not at current prices :hand:

Quote from: Dave;747911Right now, it'd be West End Games' Price of Freedom box set for a reasonable price.  It's one of those things where I either miss the auction entirely, wind up as a losing bidder or the seller wants an incredible amount for it.

There was a guy selling both the Price of Freedom box set and My Own Private Idaho on ebay uk about 2 weeks back , they looked in very good condition as well. The price was £19.99 which is about $30 I think.

Still looking to get hold of the ' Dead Reckonings ' scenario book and ' The Golden Dawn ' supplement for Call of Cthulhu , and the original ' Griffin Mountain ' ( with the map !) and ' Gateway Bestiary ' for Runequest. There are a few books I would like in print for Classic Traveller as well but at least I can get the PDFs for those.

I managed to find a few of my "holy grails":

• Allansia, the fifth AFF book
  
• Record of Lodoss War, the Companion edition (not the D&D or Sword World version)
  
• Record of Lodoss War Crystania (similar rules, different setting)
  
• Die andere Welt (one of the earlier German self-published RPGs that had a more "pacifistic" bent)
  
• Monster Maker (a Japanese fantasy RPG that saw three editions, all long OOP - I would have been content with any one but I managed to find all three on the cheap, only to find that they were completely different games)
  

I am still looking for:

• Arduin Grimoire Book I-III (I don't think that I will find even one usable idea in those but they interest me for their historic relevance - and because I won't be using them I am not willing to pay collector prices)
  
• Empire of the Petal Throne (first TSR edition - as with Arduin this is merely for historic reasons, I'd like to see how much of EPT's DNA really is in Midgard, the first German RPG)
  
• Dune RPG (if only to make up for the mistake of once owning six copies of it, and selling all of them for retail price... but I really don't need it at all)
  
• Dungeon Planner Set 1: Caverns of the Dead (a 1984, system-less, GW dungeon floor plan module of which I have Set 2, this is just nostalgia)
  
• Dungeons & Dragons Basic (the pocket book edition of the Mentzer Red Box, published by TSR UK during the Fighting Fantasy craze - I once owned it but it was stolen from me)
  
• AD&D Players Handbook (the Games Workshop softcover edition that I saw only once on a game table at Euro Gen Con 1991)
  
• City of Chaos (a Talisman-like board game that had many flaws, I believe, but is hard to find, anyway)

I would like a hard copy of Aetherco's Further Information: Gamesmaster Supplement for the Continuum RPG.

Hmmm... let's see. For RPg's I'd have to say Judges Guild City State of Tarantis supplement, and the Wraith Overlord Dungeon. That's the Dunegon under the City State of the Invincible Overlord. Having those two would mean a complete Judges Guild RPG collection.

Got three on the search/buy list for wargames, well four actually.... never mind, more than that actually...

Strategy I from SPI games. Quite possible one of the best war games ever made.

Oil War... another SPI game originally published in the SPI magazine back in 1977. It plays out like the actual history of what happened in the middle east, over the last forty years.  

Dreadnaught, yet another SPI game, it's about naval battles in the age of steam and big guns... a nice addition for Avalon Hills' Submarine.

War of the Rings, yes, the SPI mega-game. Still the best War of the Ring Game around, a mix of roleplaying, with collectible cards, and a military board game all rolled into one.


Star Force, Star Soldier and Outreach, a trilogy of SPI sci-fi games.

I wouldn't mind having a copy of Avalon Hills Blitzkrieg, Third Reich, and of course Kingmaker.

and a new unpunched copy of GDW's Fifth Frontier War would be awesome.

Wouldn't mind having all of those again.
