I've never heard of or seen the D2FP booklet until just now.

Odd.

I have a 192 page D2: TH&B--have had for several years and don't know what the hell to do with it (I yellow highlighted the "monsters ranked by challenge ratings" tables pretty heavily, but other than that its unmarked)

Wonder what it and/or my Wheel of Time hardback book is/are worth.

That's because everyone threw them away. :lol:

WoTC's Wheel of Time RPG book has been selling for about 15 bucks or so lately. I managed to snag one at HPB off the clearance shelf for $8 a couple of weeks ago. Now I just need to find a cheap copy of Prophecies of the Dragon.

Speaking of expensive DnD books, but off topic, I have notices that 1st edition Dragonlance modules are getting expensive, as I have been looking for new books to replace my aging used items. Why is this? But most of all, why is the 3.5 ed Complete Champion fetching such high prices? It was jut printed not quite 3 years ago.

I think the only early DL modules that are fetching good prices are ones in shrink and even those I think would have trouble repeating at that price.

I would have figured a typical DL1 or DL2 in good shape would run about $5, in excellent shape $10 and near mint maybe $15. I was also thinking that ones in shrink would have sold for $25.

Which 1st edition Dragonlance modules are you referring to? And what do you consider expensive? Most of the recent auctions have been pretty cheap IMO. Except for the recent shrinkwrapped DL items and the obvious DL11 going for high prices, I dont see any other crazy prices.

I am referring to DL 1-14. DL 11 is Dragons of War, correct? Why is this one so expensive? I am in the market for collecting these booklets, that's why I'm asking.

I would think shrinkwrapped DL modules should go for 25-50 max. I don't know where people are paying 150 for some of them.

Because it has a lot of parts and is often incomplete.

If it also because DL11 is much harder to find. Others such as DL12 still come with lots of counters, etc but seem easier to find so their price is a lot cheaper. I think there was one in shrink no so long ago that sold for $25.

If you want to buy all of the earlier DL modules, your best bet is to get them all in one lot like this:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I want to eventually buy shrink wrapped versions of DL 1-14 so I couldn't afford all of those at once. If anyone has any to sell I'm listening.

What else do you have? Those two are out of my price range for the time being.

Well if any modules deserve to stay in the shrink, the Dragonlance series gets my vote.

Does anybody on this forum have a copy of the Diablo II Fast-Play rules?

After spring cleaning, I came across a copy of the Diablo II Fast-Play booklet. Is this booklet supposed to be 8x10 inches (smaller than regular sized 8.5x11 inches paper), 16 pages total?

I found this booklet along with instruction books from old PC games I had saved over the years. How was this booklet distributed? Did it come in the Diablo II or Lords of Destruction PC games when they were released?

Thanks!
