Thork N Hammer wrote in B11/B12...why are these...?:I'm seeing alot of these lately on ebay. They are always promoted as "RARE" and tagged with a pretty hefty purchase price (usually $40+ and shipping!)Why are these so costly, if they are only rated as 2 on the availability chart?
bbarsh wrote in B11/B12...why are these...?:The initial print run of these was probably high, but actual distribution was low. They were not reprinted excessively like other b modules so while not rare by any stretch, they are not super common. Also, they are pretty good dungeon crawls...something later b mods lacked.

nemesiz wrote in B11/B12...why are these...?:While B10 Nights Dark Terror, B11 Kings Festival, and B12 Queen's Harvest adventures are considered relatively rare due to print run and distribution, all three modules were released when Dungeons and Dragons was migrating to the newer format. The move towards introducing the board game for novices and the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia for previous players meant they sold poorly at full price in the UK. The early to mid Nineties also saw many of the larger distributors (Virgin Mega Stores, Hamleys) stop stocking Role Playing material thus many of the later released modules were either sold as remaindered products at a hugely discounted price to the general public or given away for joining the RPGA in the UK. So you will find in the UK these products (UK modules, B10-12, Companion and Immortal modules) found in higher quantities in Shrinkwrapped or perfect condition.
