Here area few photos of what we'll be selling at our GenCon booth(House Atreides/Burntwire Bros. Booth 1901). This doesn't include several more boxes of Lawrenson's goodies. Plenty of D&D, fantasy, sci-fi, western, and other RPGs as well as wargaming and some boardgames. Pinball not included

How cool would my collection be if I lived in the US. RPG paradise compared to Oz. I am sure one third of my collection cost has been spent on postage! Gotta get me a posting to New York one day so I can go to GenCon with a wad of money!

So how much for that one ?

Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!

It says:

"Rare UK Basic Set(Games Workshop) Complete with dice."

We are asking $50(must be at con, no early sales, no shirt no shoes no service). Most of our items are priced to move fast. Way below the usual resellers prices. Many items are less than just the shipping would cost on ebay.

1.What's the video game (I'm guessing) laying down beside the Pool of Radiance copies?

2.I can't tell if that's a Mentzer Expert set or a Companion rules set beside the basic boxed sets.

Thanks!

If they don't, I know where a 4 player arcade game is about 2 hours away from Indianapolis...not sure if its for sale or not...but for the right price, just about everything is.

Shipping to Canada (or overseas) would be a killer though

You can go to a website called KLOV (Killer list of video games) and look on the forum. There are frequently video game auctions happening all over the USA and right now the market is such that you can get some classics for only a few hundred $$$. I think this item would be pretty easy to get ahold of if you look for it.
