Nice Adrian! I have not seen the ones in the first pic before. Which US books do they correspond to?

They don't exactly. They're second edition spell cards... I, III and V are Wizard spells levels 1, 2 and 3; II, IV and VI are priest spells levels 1, 2 and 3. Others were planned but 2E died horribly in Japan and several products never made it to print. Detailed scans here.

Ok, I'm proud to actually complete this set because I wasn't sure I'd be able to. THANKS to everyone that helped me!! :D

The wrinkles that appear in the images are from the protective sleeves. Not the books. They are all in nice shape. :wink:

Carpe DM!

No ideal. BECMI was quite popular for a while but I think domestically produced RPGs began to catch on right about the time that 2E was released. By the time 3E swung around D&D was becoming popular again... both it and 4E were pretty well received. 2E barely had a dozen products released and half of those were spell card sets.

Did you snag those all at once off eBay? I saw an auction for the full run, then it ended. I was wondering about the condition of them all...

~throwi

I believe that was mine. I still have Winds of Change, Delian Book of the Dead and Beyond the Kitchen Table. They're going with the rest of the sacrificial lambs, I just have too much..........

Wait, I can't remember. I think I sold them separately and offered 10% off if someone won them all.
It's hard coming up on 50. 40 years of RPing and collecting tends to make it all run together. You guys know the feeling :P

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

I'd be too worried about my collection to add those.

I've recently complete my list for non-D&D TSR books, focused on rulebooks and adventures (not all the "extra" stuff).

The last book I finally got was Marvel SuperHeroes Realms of Magic, a fun one to try to get complete.

I have one more MERP, one more ICE (non-MERP) and 1 more D&D (damn you, ST1) :evil:

After that, there's a few odds and ends but I think I might be close <gasp> to the end of the collection! 8O
