You're looking for H4. It is a series of adventures (H1-4) that takes place
in the "Bloodstone Pass" region. H1 is very difficult to find, and I would
be interested in purchasing a copy from someone for the right price.

I'm looking for the articles from some old White Dwarf magazines and
would like to buy the magazines or copies or whatever I can. The issues
are #45 and #46, and the article, which starts in #44 (which I have
already), is the RuneQuest article called "Dealing with Demons". I only
have the beginning of the three-part article which includes a rough
outline of the demonology system, but not enough to use it.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, the new Skyrealms of Jorune should actually be out already.
I bought my copy a couple of weeks ago. It is published by Chessex.
I can look up the ISBN# at home if anyone is interested. 

The new edition has been changed a great deal in general skills and
character generation, but still retains much of the feel of the
original. 

I'll try to find the address and info for ordering at home tonight.

Hi, y'all!

Here's the story--I tried to be a DM, but due to player flakiness I've
decided it's really not worth the trouble.  So, here are a few goodies in
very good shape!

Monstrous compendium vols. I and II with binder AND hole protectors on every
page--a substantial time investment which will prolong the life of the MC.
  Price: $35

Forgotten Realms Adventures book--  $18

Forgotten Realms boxed set WITH LAMINATED MAPS--value added, so $20.

2nd Ed. DM Screen--$5

Let me know if interested.  Prices include shipping.  If someone buys the
whole shebang, I'll take $5 off the combined price.

Ciao!

Date: 6 Sep 92 13:14:08 MDT
Organization: Utah State University

Wei ghets?

I am looking to buy two things if someone wants to sell them at a reasonable
price. 

First, I would like a set of Micro Armor rules. I am not sure if I want to 
get into the game, so I'd like a used copy to save some money.

Second, I am looking for modern period 25-35mm figures. Ral Partha had a 
line called Soldiers and Survivors back in 1985-88, which portrayed modern 
(20th century) soldiers and Twilight:2000 types. I'd love to hear that 
someone has some still in the blister packs, but I know that is a distant 
dream. Grenadier has some similar figures, like terrorists, cops, gangsters
and the like. These would be okay, too. I might even be interested in 
Boot Hill or space figures if they could be (re)painted to look like 
modern people.

So basically, I want modern military figures the most, but I am also
interested in modern-day-type figures of all kinds. Oh, and female PCs
type figures are also high on my want list. I will take them new and 
unpainted, used and unpainted, or used and painted, but I can't take any
which are damaged (broken pieces or worn). Prices will have to be 
negotiable, but as a guidline: I'll pay $.50 - $1.00 for new figs (still
packaged, never painted). I'll pay $.10 - $.50 for used, unpainted figs,
and I'll pay ~$.25 for painted figs. They have to be in good condition
(I especially hate figures with blunted parts from falling over too much 
or having been kept loose with other figures).

Thanks a lot in advance for any offers.

Okay,

Odds are that this tribe is either the Tchambuli or the Effete.  These 
are the two tribes studied by Margaret Mead and used by many as evidence 
that masculine and feminine roles are results of nurture not nature.  In 
a review of _The Inevitability of Patriarchy_, Margaret Mead writes:

"It is true, as Professor Goldberg points out, that all the claims so 
glibly made about societies ruled by women are nonsense.  We have no 
reason to believe that they ever existed....  Men have always been the 
leaders in public affairs and the final authorities at home."

Okay, have you read _The Legacy_?  Wulfgar DEAD?  No way!  I can't
believe Salvatore would do this!  I know, no body = no death, and he
did "kill" Bruenor before in a well-done part.  But this scene doesn't
feel the same; there's no way out without hokeyness ("What luck!  I 
just happened to be in a space where the rocks fell all around, but
they didn't hit me!")  There's also the problem of getting him out 
of there.  Also, the way Drizzt and company are having to "live" 
with the death this time is different.  I kinda thought Salvatore
might do something like this eventually; I think he's looking to
get Catti-Brie and Drizzt together.  But this ruins the book as far
as I'm concerned; the best part of the Icewind Dale trilogy was seeing
the heroes survive and triumph over impossible odds without having a
wizard in their party.
