One to try for would be Games and Puzzles, I know they mentioned Judges Guild in one issue, which is the only one of those I have. Would have to look and see if it has other mentions/ads for anything RPG related.

Re: Games and Puzzles, it's a desert out there. Very hard to find.

There is a discussion here about a very early dungeon that was printed in Games and Puzzles. Would be mighty to see that turn up.

I've been looking for the Games & Puzzles magazines for a while now too. Emailed a number of UK used bookstores too without any success.

I believe that is a poly bag, and originally from Noble Knight.

I'm sure you're right. It has the same bow as mine, which is in shrink. The Thieves Guild boxed set by the same seller is in shrink.

It's simply wonderful to see Buffalo Castle do so well. I've watched T&T stuff for years and it just doesn't seem to do as good as other things. Maybe that's changing.

Taurus - Warriors of the Dark Star

Big results for this interesting item. I went ahead and filed it under wargames auction data area, as they seem to catch all non-roleplaying items.

That was the one thing I really wanted that night. I knew that lofenloc was going to put a big bid on it. It is a pretty rare item, the rarest of the things that were up that night. I was surprised that the D&D stuff didn't get more support from that contingent. They usually don't let the good stuff go for that.

Particularly when the seller is well known and well advertised. He did pretty well on some items. Gotta admit, I was so excited by those auctions I nearly went through and added everything to the auction db's!

I was finally able to compare a little bit with the seller on that Buffalo Castle. That printing follows the one listed here. It has corrections in it mine does not.

The Manual of Aurania

These used to be somewhat coveted. Watching the results of this one intently.

The 2nd edition is not so coveted anymore and will probably sell fairly cheap. You can get copies in shrink from Noble Knight for $20 or open for $18.

Mars is right about that. It's an easy pick-up. The first is by far a much rarer item.

Yep, I have only seen 1 or 2 of the first prints.
