This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What "rare" or hard-to-find book/books have you been searching for?

I could be tempted by the WEG Star Wars Introductory Adventure Game (or whatever it was called) as I can see the point of an even simpler D6 Star Wars game and I like props. And, if for curiosity sake, getting hold of a copy of Marvel Saga would be cool. But generally speak I seem to have gotten over the whole collector thing.
New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

Make me an offer.

If you're thinking RPG Data Con, make me an offer.

Quote from: danskmacabre;780640I would love to get the 2nd edition Spacemaster Boxed set.

I'm not sure if I still have mine.  If I do, it's in with Star Strike and the three ship books.

Quote from: Exploderwizard;780893I am still hoping to find an original Lace & Steel boxed set someday.

You'll need to make me a pretty good offer, but I could be convinced.

Quote from: Soylent Green;780968And, if for curiosity sake, getting hold of a copy of Marvel Saga would be cool.

D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

OK gang this guy has all the loot. Lets kill him and take his stuff!!  :p
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

I'd love to have a copy of Ringworld, yeah.

Castle Zagyg would be neat too.  

Beyond that, I'm doing pretty well.

(And that person who wanted Marvel Saga, I think I've got the whole line laying around here somewhere.  Reed Richard's guide to the universe is fun.)

ooo, Ringworld! That is a great one. It is to the BRP line as 1E Gamma World is to the D&D family of games.

I'm afraid the shipping will cost me three times the price of the book, whatever my offer. :(

There's two used copies on Amazon for $1,055.24 (+ $3.99 shipping) and $1,452.56 (+ $3.99 shipping)... :teehee:

Yeah. :rolleyes:  If I ever need to pay rent, I can sell my NM copies of Aria and Aria Worlds.

I've got a Spacemaster second edition box but I don't have any plans to part with it.

I'd like Atlas of the Imperium of course.  I know a guy who has one but I like him too much to kill for it.

Nope. All that was released was Dune: COTI, which used Last Unicorn Games' house system. The d20 version was shelved.

Quote from: Tetsubo;749166There was a role-playing game advertised in the back of Dragon in the eraly days. Shapeshifter or Skinwalker, something like that. It was a digest sized book I believe. I never bought it I always wished I had. I don't know the publisher sadly. If I could find a copy that would be cool. Other than that I have all the 'classic' games I want I believe.

Was it Shapeshifter by Fat Messiah Games?  If yes, it was actually a board game of sorts. Used to have it and loved it.

For my entry on this list, I'd like to replace my copy of Cutthroat: The Shadow Wars that was stolen when I was at the game store.
