JoeNuttall wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Currently on eBay:It was a Dungeoneer #2 in that auction AFAIK Goodman Games only reprinted the first issue.


Even 2nd issue was reprinted by Goodman Games... my question is how many issues were reprinted? (From what I read ony the first two were reprinted)

My apologies, Axel—the issue in the auction was a #2 not #1:  Goodman only reprinted #1.  

The small image on my phone threw me off.  Sorry about that!

Allan.

Damn, all of those fanzines went crazy at the end, even the ones that were not Wild Hunt.  I know they're extremely rare, but that's a lot of $$$ to spend on such niche items with no real name value outside of the most hardcore collector group(i.e. mostly us).

Anyone here grab any of them?

I'd be curious if the actual content is of any interest or value; of course, things that close to the dawn of the hobby are intrinsically cool.

I was hoping to get those Wild Hunt fanzines, but alas there are at least a few other fanzine collectors out there willing to go all in on these rare issues, too.  

I personally am collecting fanzines for a YouTube video series where I'm trying to share as many as I can, usually posting on a weekly basis.  They are rare (and pricey - clearly) and so I know most people interested in the early days of the hobby won't have access to these, but the content is interesting and a ton of fun.  The people who made these early fanzines were really dedicated, some had visions of grander things, and all of them give us an insight into how different people were exploring and expanding the hobby in the 1970s and 80s.  A&E and Wild Hunt are particularly worth collecting, sharing and remembering because they contain so much back and forth discussion/debate on topics in the earliest days of the D&D's evolution.

I was lucky to get the two lots that seller had up and so I'll be glad to share info if anyone here is interested.  I'm sure I'll do a video on Fire the Arquebusiers #1 as soon as these arrive, and I'll get to the others at some point too.


Keep rollin' 20s, my friends....

I have no interest in them, but it's fine if someone does.


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Well if you have as ultimate goal to produce videos, I am open to send you any of the zines I own as long as you send them back to me once you have done the video and you cover the shipping expenses (unfortunately for you I live in Italy...)
If my offer works for you, then I can send you the list (not huge!) of the zine in my collection.
Hope it helps, ciaooo

Speaking of zines, is this lot original or is it a reprint?
I asked the seller but got no reply... and this makes me think of a reprint even if not clearly stated in the auction...

Pirated reprints:  some of the cover art is from the Arthurian Mythos in D&DG.

I don’t know that the seller is the one I bought from (and returned) previously, but can check later.

Six gem mint fanzines from 1982? Definitely reprints or copies.


If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Yes, reprints.  This guy has been selling these reprints of these and a few other zines, some with alternate covers, others with original art.  He does not clearly state that they are modern reprints (nor that he does not have any rights/agreements from the original owners to do this).

I am not interested in comments on final price, given the fact the auction started at 500 bucks, I would like to know if any fellow collector here won this auction as this is one of the most sought non tsr items to my eyes!

Nice shot!

I noticed in the description it mentions there is no 47th page. It goes from page 46 to page 48. Is that a typo in the original product or was there a page missing?
