I just saw that on ebay Die Vecna Die copies are going pretty high.  I'm guessing this is due to the Stranger Things.  These are not listed anywhere as rare or have a value listed.  Any information as to how rare these are, and are these just popping because of Stranger Things??

Die Vecna Die! is one of the most expensive 2nd edition modules.  It's been that way for quite a while.  They are rarer, likely because the print run wasn't as high, and the 2nd edition modules were typically not as popular.  The 2nd edition had a lot of product lines too, which didn't help.

Stranger Things certainly has raised awareness of D&D.  It stands to reason that anything associated with Vecna could benefit.

I think Vecna is a huge draw.  Vecna Lives goes for some nice prices as well.  My gripe is that style of book (glossy black covers) doesn't wear very well and they get scuffed really easily.  It wasn't sold in SW either so its not easy finding them in NM condition.  Was DVD the last 2E module?  I thought I read that somewhere.  Items at the end of a cycle tend not to sell well so there could be a lot fewer around like Doug mentioned.

I only watched the first season. I guess it still must be pretty good.  I'll get to it eventually, I guess.

Looking at some of the retail pricing of 2e modules, I could only find Dead Gods more expensive at $29.95 US.  That item is also super expensive now.  I was looking for a price list from back then to no avail.   Are there others that cracked the $30 threshold (not counting boxed sets)?.

OT: The Simpsons Cape Feare (the one linked) is one of the greatest episodes of TV ever made. Yet often doesnt make top 10 lists for the show itself.

Or is it a german translation of the french ‘Thé Vecna, thé!’, which reads ’Tea Vecna, tea!’


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