Hi all,

I'm in the final stages of disassembling a collection that I got quite a while ago, and now I'm in what I consider to be one of the less pleasant tasks: sifting through the "odds 'n' ends" of stuff that's become separated/jumbled.

At the moment, I've decided to sort this stuff by campaign world, and at the moment have the following piles:
--Forgotten Realms (the largest)
--World of Greyhawk (second largest)
--Basic D&D
--DM screens
--Incomplete, non-campaign world-specific module bits (i.e., a cover but not the module itself, or vice versa)

Mostly, these piles consist of broken-up boxed sets, such as the WoG Campaign Setting, City of Greyhawk, various Forgotten Realms things like Menzoberranzan, City of Splendors, and so on.  More poster-sized map segments than I can shake a stick at!

At this point, I'm thinking of throwing these on eBay as-is, as incomplete lots, unless someone else can think of anything better.

Thoughts/opinions are quite welcome.

Thanks in advance,
JohnH

There's a whole thread for people interested in getting incomplete somethings to complete something else -- I think its buried a few pages down, but there could likely be someone looking for whatever you have. Beyond that, maybe selling on eBay is possible -- never know who might want what, but I wouldn't expect to get much, or anything.


Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

I'd be interested in knowing what maps you have, somethings I'm missing them.

I'm looking for a set of World of Greyhawk maps that fit in the WOG box.  Unfortunately, the only maps I have are the ones from the folio (and I do have the folio book as well), but they have seen much better days.

I know I should toss this on the "Trading to Complete the Incomplete" thread, but given that you mentioned you had odds and ends for WOG, I thought I'd ask here.

My damn constructive side has gone and started making an Excel file for the various products and what they should contain. :roll:
I've started with Forgotten Realms since that's the only setting I never was eager to collect/complete, so have only been getting things slowly over time for it.  Anyway, missing from the TSR archive is info on the following (need to know page count, maps, cover type, anything else):
Prayers From the Faithful
Volo's Guide to Cormyr
Kara-Tur Monstrous Compendium
Catacombs Knight of the Living Dead
Ruins of Adventure
FRE3 Waterdeep
Hordes of Dragonspear


Also curious for the box sets in particular, but any product in general if they contained advertisement sheets for Mags or RPGA, or the small product catalogs that came in some.

Thanks,
ShaneG.

Shane I'm getting a load of Wandering Monster's  stuff soon...send me a list of what you need and I'll pull it out.  I'm only going to save the stuff I can use, I'll post a list later of what odds and ends are left over.

Does 9282 LC2 Inside Ravens Bluff, The Living City have a map?  Mine was SWed and now been opened :oops: but doesn't have a map as the TSR Archive states.
Which brings up another frustration, the info is not 100%, course I knew that, but still.  Anyone a Forgotten Realms collector and wishes to double check my Excel file please post/PM so that I can get things corrected if need be.
Mind you other settings shouldn't be much of a problem.

According to Heroic Worlds LC2 does not come with a detached map. Just 64 pages and outer folder.

The only LC series item with a map is LC1.
