Good morning... Some weeks ago I discovered that some of "my precious" modules have been bleached by the cruel sun. I was quite angry at the sun, and I even thought of building a big sun-dimming machine, but first I have to re-buy all those bleached modules. Some are surely bleached (like my Nobilis 2nd Ed...
) Some others walk the fine line between "bleached too much" and "not too much bleached". Only the spines of modules have been damaged (excluding Nobilis that, thanks to its strange format, was more completely bleached). In this way, for many modules I can compare the colors of the cover with the colors of the spine and decide if the sun cooked them. For some of the modules it's quite difficult for me to decide. For this reason I'm writing here. I have done some photos of the details of my modules. Clearly the colors are off (because it's very difficult to get the same colors you see with your eyes in a photo), but the "difference" of color should be more easily to see. If you have the same module, can you look at yours and tell me if they are in the same/similar condition? Thanks a lot!
These are the DnD modules for which I need infos (they are all
