Is this a copyright problem? I mean, I would love to buy it, but not by supporting a crime!!

I am certain that the magazines are not in the public domain. All of these guys who do this say the same thing. They have been doing it with The General and Strategy & Tactics for years. The listing gets pulled wen reported but eBay never seems to do anything to the sellers regardless of how many times it happens.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

New modules for your Old School game http://pacesettergames.com/

Probably not illegal to possess if you have copies of all the originals (like I do), but I'd just find a bit torrent and download them for free.  Remember to delete any issues you don't personally own! :wink:

Duly reported.


RPG’s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. It’s bonded me together with life long friends...it’s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

And that's why it amazes me that any of these things actually get any sales.
