Hi all!

I have a Limited Edition (125 copies) of C1 Circle of Fire by Pacesetter:

Pacesetter Games & Simulations Archive

Is this worth anything in particular?

The limited-edition printings are typically worth 2-3X than standard printings. This particular one is probably worth around $25-35.

As far as the worth of the module, from a playability perspective, it's a decent module.

I sold a few numbered Pacesetter mods last year on eBay for $29.95 - $39.95. I asked a bit more for the earliest ones, which I think this one was - so about $40

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

AH, I didn't check to see if it was actually numbered, thanks! It does seem playable.

Well, well! I had no idea! I need to pull out and see what I have. Of course, the most valuable Pacesetter adventure is The Storm of Tears.... :wink:

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Interestingly, a copy of Storm of Tears recently on Facebook (RPG Auctions) for $100 plus $7 shipping on March 25th. I actually have a few spare copies I'd be willing to sell to anyone for $100 each, and I'll even autograph it for free! :D

They can go from $50-$100. Now that Pacesetter has been putting games out over a decade the OSR completists are looking for the hard to find early releases (numbered first prints).

It's on the lower right corner of the inside back cover. The number is hand-written: Number _____ of 125.

Ah, thanks! So mine is 120. I hadn't realized they came out with a non-limited, so I assumed there were only the limited ones and they weren't numbered. Naturally that makes me an idiot, since it says it right in Pacesetter's archive.

Even if this is not a classified, for anyone interested in a copy of The Circle of Fire, here we go:

vinted.com/items/2005484677-osradd-modu ... ed-edition

...then in addition I also have another "limited print" item on sale, The Haunted House of Clendil here:

vinted.com/items/2005494221-osradd-modu ... ed-edition

this last module has not the pre-numbered info on the interior of the back cover as in The Circle of Fire... it has a pen-written note "99/110" inside the module.
