I picked up a copy of this the other week, and it's in fairly used condition but has some charming drawings and looks like it'll be a good read.
Was just wondering if anyone has come across it before and could possibly price it.

Don't see many of those about, but should probably leave it up to the more prolific collectors to estimate price. I picked up my copy in VG/EX condition at Liesure Games for £1 along with an old badly painted Ral Partha Behemoth (also £1) which I subsequently sold on eBay for £50. My copy is in my 'for sale' pile and I'll stick it up and see where it goes. I'd hazard a guess at $10-15, but they don't come up very often at all, and only the die hard collectors know it exists, which probably keeps prices lower than it's actually worth (but only slightly).

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

Hi,

I had one in stock for AGES at £10 before it sold.

Cheers,

Do you have a store with an online presence that sells your stock of RPG stuff, or is it just highstreet customers you sell to? Wouldn't mind having a look to see what you have and maybe buying a few bits and pieces.

This was their old website that I would look at from time to time:

Not sure if it is upto date or not.

warhammer 0e

1978 version rare should be good $$ if people knew better + sold to plan 1981 edition more common + less interesting $5-10

Rick Priestly (one of the authors on the later version of Reaper) went on to write the original Warhammer rules (amongst others)

Could be a very desirable item someday depending on its content.

Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!
