"Quest for the Cursed Bone" is a full size album. I have a copy in shrink so can't tell you what is inside the sleeve. It is very rare, only seen a couple copies over the years.


Available now from Die Cast Games: Night of the Black Swords by Allen Hammack (Author of C2-The Ghost Tower of Inverness) with artwork by Jeff Easley and Diesel.

Gnat the Beggar wrote in North Texas RPG Convention 2014: June 5-8:Please list the ones you have....

For the Cassettes I have:
Attack of the Assassins - SW
Black Dragon Bog - 2 copies: 1 SW, 1 open
Quest of the Riddles - SW

For the Records I have:
Attack of the Assassin - SW

I had a Black Dragon Bog record set (opened) but sold it on e-Bay some years ago.

I think there was also a book set with the title "Quest for the Cursed Bone"?
I have no proof of that, just a theory.
Are there more than 4 different story book sets and if so, What other versions are there?



I also have "Quest of the Riddles" on cassette and 7", and "Attack of the Assassins" on 7".

I was unaware that you could get Black Dragon Bog on cassette... I don't have either version.

Knew of the 12" but have never seen it for sale anywhere.

Here are pictures of the the 7" and 12" records: Tome of Treasures :: View Forum - Kid Stuff

The ntrpgcon forums seem to have had a little bit of an accident...

Cheers,

Yes, sorry, the forms are down for the moment.

We had a power outage last week, of all the servers to have a problem it was the NTRPGCon server, of which I don't have a good backup of the forums (it's a year old).

The forums were toast, and I tried to do some rebuild stuff, then I crapped out the entire site... had to get the main database fixed and back online. Forums database is still whacked and don't think it'll get recovered.

But I have some stuff to still try, just no time.

So at some point, I'll get to work on it and hopefully get something back in place... even if I have to recover from a year ago and lose a years worth of posts :(

I'll let you know...

oh, and I forgot to launch the chat server after the reboot, but it's back online now

Thanks for posting those Kingof pain89. I couldn't make the CON this year so have really enjoyed seeing people's pics, and watched some of the streaming video.

Looks like a nice variety of games played this year (and some obscure ones)

We are having a NTRPG Con "mini-event" to celebrate moving into our new warehouse and storage space on Saturday, July 12th.  Yeh it's short notice, but Doug and I are both free that weekend and decided to take the space on a dry run of fun.  Front room will have lots of stuff for sale including NTRPG con digests and such; middle room and back room will have various gaming endeavors which can and may include Circus Maximus, Gladiator battles, OGRE, Divine Right, D&D, or whatever anyone wants us to run.  We have a bathroom, AC, and a fridge (Doug seems to be hinting all snacks and drinks are free, as of this time that's chips and water). BYOB we are not supplying you guys with booze. Pinball machines and arcade machines also available (but in the garage where it may be a bit warm, even with fans).  There is a sign up at the NTRPG con website and the fee is 10 bucks to get in, all day or weekend, depending on how late we want to game.  Fuzzy's Tacos is within walking distance (maybe a 60 second walk at most) and there is a Quik-Trip on the corner nearest the warehouse. Come see the Magic Mountain of Judges Guild items in it's natural habitat! (but do NOT feed, we don't want it to get healthier and start breeding...)

You know, there are some pretty funny pictures of me taken at this convention over the years. Two years ago there was one taken in which I was bidding against Jeff Imrie where I look, hmm, what's a nice way of saying this, insane.

Love the pictures, thanks for sharing!

I keep saying it every year that I have to get down there... trying for 2015.

Oh, and where on the NTRPG site are the videos?  Couldn't find them...

They are down with the rest of the forums.  Hopefully we will be getting something up soon, even if it means we have lost the last year of forums.

Ok, I have finally found the box with the NTRPG con digests in the wreck that is our new warehouse. Here is a listing on Ebay for the only "new" digest we offered this year, the follow up to Erol Otus' Island Town, Island Town: Expedition.  Written and illustrated by Erol Otus, generically statted but it's pretty much straight Dungeons & Dragons. Cost is $15 a digest, shipping is $4 first class or $6 priority, $13 overseas.  Each additional copy is $1 extra shipping.  

Below is a link for Island Town Expedition with pics of the digest.  Acaeum members, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THIS LINK!  If you order directly from me here, I will give you a break on the cost since I will not have to pay Ebay fees...I will also combine shipping to one flat rate cost, both domestic and overseas, or use the cheapest method.   IF YOU ORDER ON EBAY YOU PAY THE FULL PRICE!  Ebay takes a huge bite nowadays...


** expired/removed eBay auction **


For the historically inclined, we also still have copies of past digests.  Some are VERY limited in number (those marked with a Star). I can combine with Island Town: Expedition, again, only if you order directly through The Acaeum (PM me!).  

Castle of Glass by Tim Kask (D&D, 2012)---$13
Sinister Secret of Sweetmeade Abbey by Tim Kask (D&D, 2012)---$13
Death of Tlangashen by Steve Winter (Empire of the Petal Throne, 2012)---$13
*The Tomb of Amemnes by Steve Winter (Basic D&D, 2012)---$18
The Wizard's Amulet by Bill Webb & Clark Peterson (Swords & Wizardry, 2013)---$13
A Simple Clearing of the Land by Jim Ward (Fantasy solo, 2013)---$13
The Long Hard Mile by Jim Ward (Metamorphosis Alpha solo, 2013)---$13
Tomb of the Cursed Pharoah by Jim Ward (D&D, 2013)---$13

Ok, not to rush anyone, but there are only three days left (until Thursday, July 31st) to pre-register for NTRPG con #7 at the reduced rate ($45 for the entire weekend). After this, it will cost you $55-$65 for an entire weekend of old school gaming, so why wait? The greatest thing about this bargain price? If for some reason you cannot make the con, the registration is rolled into 2016! You have a chance to purchase a 2015 t-shirt and raffle tickets at the same time.

Ouch, pre-registration ~310 days prior to the con! At least it carries over if you can't make it. I really want to make the NTRPGcon next year but we have our first kiddo coming any day now. Will have to talk to the wife!

Mike,

Might be another Acaeum member, but do you know who the seller (douglaswrhea) on RPGmarketplace with about 20 copies of each of those digests is? I almost bought a few until seeing your post so I will just send you a PM for the ones I want.

That's Doug Rhea (or ScketreWhisp on the Acaeum), who runs NTRPGCon with Mike.  Buying from either Doug or Mike is pretty much the same thing, when it comes to NTRPGCon stuff.

112 registrations already!  However, with 27 special guests, I don't think you're going to make it to where they're less than 10% of the attendance.  If you're not careful, those of us who aren't special guests will end up in the minority.   :lol:

Doug is co-runner of the con.  You can order from either Doug or I, but I'll get them out faster (I am at the computer selling all day so it's no problem for me, Doug has a real job and a real business to run), and I believe Doug charges more shippping from the RPG marketplace site.  Also, some of his numbers are way off on copies, but I just notice he has Tomb of Amemnes for only $10 which is a steal since we only have four of these left (going to change myown prices on this to reflect Doug's lower pricing).  Anyway the money goes into the same place, I just handed a check to Doug yesterday for all the Island Town digests I've sold so far!

Doug upped the ante once again....sigh.  Someday we might have a special guest for every "regular" guest.  Everyone who registers will be assigned a "partner" special guest to hang with all the con, be a guide, roll dice for them, etc.
