I went through a period of collecting some older AD&D stuff (mostly pastels and the Cthulhu D&D) from eBay in the late 90s.  I realized shortly thereafter that I was only really interested in keeping the stuff I had from that time and actually played and not in getting other peoples'.  Odd, I know.  It has saved me a ton of money, though!

Quote from: smiorgan;748041I would like a hard copy of Aetherco's Further Information: Gamesmaster Supplement for the Continuum RPG.

I've got this one! Its quite good, even though I found the game almost unplayable, there's a lot of material here that would be really good even in other games and as general idea-fodder.

Mostly Dragon Quest, SPI 2nd ed. stuff.
Frontiers of Alusia and The Enchanted Wood.

Not hard to find but a bit pricey...

D&D City & Outdoor geomorphs always tempting as well.

Lionheart by Columbia Games... I apreciate the overall level and love for detail in most of the Harnmaster publications and combining this with a halfway interesting time period seems really nice.

You know what though, I think I would cry with joy if I found an actual copy of Realm of Yolmi or Spawn of Fashan (that I could afford).

Quote from: DKChannelBoredom;748929Anyone knows why the Allansia book, the old one, ended up being so expensive (from used) while the others, Titan et al, could be bought for a song, more or less? Was it simply a case of fewer being printed and therefor available or is there a story/underlying reason?

I'm pretty sure it had a much smaller print run.  I'm not sure if it ever even got to Canada, for example.

There 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 Spawn of Fashan a real thing though? I thought that was just a joke column in an issue of Dragon magazine, not a real game.

Somehow I missed this -- I have to get it, sounds awesome!

None. I'm fine thank you!

If anyone remembers Wargames West from the late 80's and early 90's, they advertised a few things I REALLY wanted:  one was some type of universal conversion engine to convert characters to different systems (I think Palladium threatened to sue and it disappeared from the catalogue fast) and the other was Zody Games Fantasy Earth.  Mainly because the tag line : Even the mightiest wizard should be nervous around a loaded crossbow.  Or something along those lines.

Was it the one that had the map of forms you had to go through to get to other forms?

This sounds like "The Primal Order" from early WotC.

One I've always been a little curious about is the Paragon System.

It had a full page advertisement in one and only one issue of Dragon Magazine during the 80s.  The advertisement was for membership in The Paragon Society for Wargaming, or something like that.  By sending them some amount of money, you'd become a member of their organization and they'd send you their Paragon system along with regular updates.

I've always wondered what, if anything, someone who joined would receive.  I've asked about it several times over the years.  One person said they had joined back in the day and had received some comb bound mimeographed rules which were basically a houseruled D&D.  

With Google Street View, I've done a search of the address provided in the advertisement and it seems to point to a little strip mall.  There's no gaming connection to the location as of the last time I checked, and I doubt anything has changed, but I also have no problem imagining a little game shop may have operated out of that strip mall sometime in the 80s.  There may have been a gaming club there with grand dreams of selling their fantasy heartbreaker.

Anyway, I have no interest in paying for the Paragon System.  But it would be nice to see a scan of it.
