Quote from: Future Villain Band;747906Still, I had every book ever released for CP2020, third-party and otherwise

I had most of those too. Charity shopped it all years ago. Stupid stupid boy.

Everything I had I can find for an inflated price on the second hand market.

Though I do want some Fighting Fantasy books to read again.

"Holy Grail" is rather overstating it, but I'd like to get my hands on print versions of Escape from Innsmouth 2E for Call of Cthulhu and Lands of Mystery, a multiple-system adventure sourcebook from Hero Games. For a normal price.

Aboard the Death Ship, a Traveller adventure published by Reilly Associates.

Crimson Cutlass, a swashbuckling roleplaying game.

I've approached the author of Crimson Cutlass twice, once about putting out a .pdf and the other, on the recommendation of another gamer, about trying to track down a copy, and both times I've gotten a surly fuck-off. I can't imagine how much it must really suck to have people who are interested in your work and want to buy it.

Quote from: Simon Owen;747996Still looking to get hold of the ' Dead Reckonings ' scenario book and ' The Golden Dawn ' supplement for Call of Cthulhu

Heh, I got the 'Golden Dawn' (and actually up for sale - but shipping outta here, out-rageous), but I'm searching for the 'Walker in the Wastes', also from Pagan Publishing. And there's a couple of the translated Danish Fighting Fantasy books I'm missing from my collection. And of more recent stuff, I would like to get my hands on the first book in the 3.5 Dragonlance Age of Mortals Campaign - Key of Destiny - but I'm not willing to pay blood money for it. So if it turns up great, if not, I'll survive.

The DGP books for Megatraveller - Starship Operator's Manual, Grand Survey, and Grand Census.

French-language 30th Anniversary Call of Cthulhu, a.k.a. L'Appel de Cthulhu.

Got it a few weeks ago. Awesome.

I've got the Starship Operator's Manual but I've never seen Grand Survey or Grand Census anywhere.

Quote from: Simon Owen;748172I've got the Starship Operator's Manual but I've never seen Grand Survey or Grand Census anywhere.

I wouldn't mind Dogs and Cogs, imo I always wondered why there wasn't a Vilani alien module. But with the amount of arguing over, and inflated price of DGP stuff, it's not a holy grail type item.

Quote from: dragoner;748176I always wondered why there wasn't a Vilani alien module.

:huhsign:

That's Cogs and Dogs; the alien modules were Classic, not Mega. I actually didn't buy any Mega stuff, none of it fit with what we were playing at the time. Then after a hiatus, I came back and it was TNE, so my group decided they wanted to play Rifts instead.

Besides the Games Workshop print of Holmes D&D (with the Fangorn art) I guess all the stuff I really want is really no big deal. But it's all stuff that is usually pricier than I'd imagine on Amazon and eBay, etc.

Like Thunder Rift. Though some say it's fairly cool, most insist it's really nothing too inspiring but like a five year old who wants an obviously crappy toy from the dollar store there I am: "But...but I really want it for real."

As a T&T fanboy sure I'd love copies of the first, second and third "editions" and the T&T Supplement but I'm more realistic than that... so why does the usual and boring D&D stuff I want (like Thunder Rift or the Bestiary of Dragons and Giants) so strangely pricey?


I guess my real Holy Grails are things that don't exist like a version of Swords & Wizardry Complete with a non-spell-casting ranger more like the one from C&C and the bard from Strategic Review and no more pixilation on the freakin' art!

If I may ask, how much did you dish out for it? I recently sold my copy of the 30th Anniversary English edition and I'm a little curious.

Got it brand-new from Jeux Descartes in Paris, for 45 euro.

Quote from: Ladybird;747919I 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...

Allansia is one of the few things I'd really want to get, as like you I never managed to get it the first time around.  But I'd be quite satisfied to get the new edition version, which I hope will be happening at some point...

Anyone knows why the Allansia book, the old one, ended up being so expensive (from used) while the others, Titan et al, could be bought for a song, more or less? Was it simply a case of fewer being printed and therefor available or is there a story/underlying reason?
