How much does a copy of Existential Evil go for these days. Seems to be very little history on eBay or in the Google archives for this product. And as always, Amazon's listing is for fantasists.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

75+ is the lowest I have seen. I have two copies on RPGMarketplace.com if you are interested...

Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

I have half a dozen Hackmaster items I'm thinking of getting rid of, all of which are $5 items except this one, so I'm looking at selling mine. I just couldn't find a sale history for it on eBay. At $75 it's worth taking the time to do a listing. The rest of my Hackmaster items are hardly worth people paying the shipping cost for. It seems like a dead games system.

EE is definitely the big dollar item. I agree with smarmy that $75 would be the low end, but I've seen it bring a lot more.

You might do okay to post the other items on Kenzer's forums. There aren't any other top dollar books, but certainly a few oddball items that are more than $5.

Ahhh... now this all makes sense...

I thought the original title of the item was The Temple of Existential Evil...?

(which is why I didn't know what he was talking about at first...)

And yes, $75.00 is reasonable for this item...

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

One of these just sold (apparently an art-less cover version from Lulu): http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... 0608643786

I had thought about BINing it, but really haven't been that impressed with HM products, and someone else snagged it.

Was this a good price? Is the product worthwhile if you already own T1-4?

As an adventure I remember it being a piece of crap. I hadn't realized that they were doing a print on demand version from LuLu? Or is this a printed copy from a pdf?

The original version is a pretty easy $100+ in solid shape. The POD version (which this was) I don't recall being available in open sale before. So it's hard to say, but about half? Yeah, that feels right.

I've never seen this version before. So yes, it was a good price.

I have the retail version, did the POD version come out later?

I'm 99% sure that the POD was later.

What are folks' current thoughts on prices for the Temple of Existential Evil? And, should it include a map booklet like T1-4??

The version I have has the maps as part of the book, not a separate map-booklet.

Jason is correct, no map booklet.

I haven't been tracking it, but I can't think of any reason why the price would have shifted much from the $75-100ish range the last time it was discussed.
