I'm looking to locate just the map from TSR's #9147 Temple of Elemental Evil.  For some reason, only the Gods know, my VG booklet is missing the map.

If there is a difference in the maps from the various printings, I would much prefer the map from a 1st printing.

EDIT: My apologies to the adminsitrators.  Would you be so kind as to move this thread to its proper location.

I think you are on the right board for this.
Although perhaps another relevant thread is this one as it already covers what you are wanting to do.

"Trading to complete the incomplete..."

I assume you want to Buy or trade for a Map Booklet?
There may be someone here with a nice map booklet that is paired with a trashed out module (or no module at all).

I think the map booklet is the same for all printings of that module.

There was a copy in PDF being passed atound the Dragonsfoot Board about a year back, so I'd think someone over there would still have the maps booklet PDF. They rarely come up as orphans on eBay, so as Gnat says, post in the "Trading to Complete the Incomplete" thread as see if anything transpites. I'm guessing the PDF is your most likely means of getting a playable copy, but that's only a temp' measure.

As an aside, though still related to the discussion.

I have seen several listings on E-Bay for these types of campaign length adventures (So called Super Modules) that have the Module Book, but No Maps.

One example is here.




** expired/removed eBay auction **




USA listing has a starting price of $9.99 and $6.38-$9.15 for US Shipping (Yeah, that is too high, but not rediculous) and not a single bid has been placed in 5 days. (2 days left).

The book looks to be in good condition too...

So, Why no bids on such a popular super Module?

NO MAP BOOKLET...





Compare another listing for the same super module with 10 hours left.




** expired/removed eBay auction **




Currently at just over $31, and $5.60 shipping ($7.60 for Priority Mail).

This one includes the map booklet and even though the book has writing and moderate cover wear, and the map booklet has rusty staples this listing is doing quite well for the seller.



Condition statement from seller:

the MAP booklet is in good shape it the staples have rust  .     Book has a few pages with writting on them.  Module has some cover and corner wear scuffing and scratches




Those two listings alone cannot tell the whole story of course, but (IMO) without the maps, these typs of Modules are all but useless, except (perhaps) as a reading/research copy.

Certainly cannot play it without maps.

Now here is the really funny thing about that item.  IMO the people bidding on it need their heads examined at that price as I would call that booklet a "poor" example and not worth that price.

Yes, I agree with you.

Prices for this item are all over the board.



I recently purchased a nicer copy than the one I linked above at over $31 now and the copy I purchased sold for $20.00 plus shipping.

Book is nice with a few scuffs (normal for this modules cover) ... and the map booklet is included.

Yes, I was lucky catching the BIN, but it was not the first low priced copy I had seen nor the last that might be obtained this cheap from E-Bay.

Patience.... Easy to say tougher to have.




** expired/removed eBay auction **




I have not seen it yet as the listing just ended 2 days ago, but I am fairly sure that I will not be dissapointed.
