Has anybody checked out just how much swag was given away on the D&D Worldwide Game Day a few weeks back? This auction looks to have been EVERYTHING given away (which is why I had bid it so high... I would have sniped it, but had to be in a meeting when the auction ended, and the high bid was just to discourage somebody trying to re-snipe on me... I figured I'd get the whole deal for $30! And I used up all my Auctionstealer auctions for the week on Burnie's stuff too...
Most of the minis (sans the Mountain Orc) have been released in the last few sets, so aren't exactly rare, but the stuff I want my hands on are the mechanical pencil, the d20, map tiles, character sheets, Lair of the Mad Alchemist, and Forgotten Forge (which is also found in the Eberron Campaign Setting Hardcover). Wonder if any resellers got their claws on this stuff. So far the only other person selling on eBay is Cougarrinard.

Which leads me to this question: Before we publish the Tome we should set up lists without item descriptions for OD&D and WOTC D&D. Now I know where to look for OD&D lists, but does anyone have a good compilation of official D&D releases since the WOTC takeover? _________________ Tome of Treasures - #1 resource for collectible role-playing games.
There is a pull-down menu on the upper left-hand side where you can change the year range. This appears to just be official releases however, no promo stuff included.

Looks great! If my focus wasn't on AD&D, I'd buy two or three sets of these, one for owning, the other for investment.
In December, I'm planning on setting up lists for OD&D and D&D 3.0 / 3.5.
Shaun, can you then help me out with scans and info for the items you have? I'll be doing the pages, if you can help me with the info. Except for the GREYHAWK stuff, I don't have any OD&D or D&D 3.0 / 3.5 items in my collection. _________________ Tome of Treasures - #1 resource for collectible role-playing games.

Sure Ralf, I have to dig out my old scanner though... I have everything ever printed for Forgotten Realms, Planescape (sans the art book), Spelljammer, Al-Qadim, and Birthright.
The newer 3.0/3.5 stuff we can probably snag pictures of online, but I'll scan the promo stuff (Caves of Shadow, the Legacy of the Green Regent adventures, etc.).

Got the stuff in the other day and just wanted to write some comments:
At around $80, I almost feel like I was ripped off... the mountain orc appears to be pretty common. The copy of "The Forgotten Forge" looks exactly as it does in the Eberron Campaign Setting, albeit in b&w and softcover (they probably used the same files to create the seperate adventure for the D&D game day). "Lair of the Mad Alchemist" is pretty interesting (albeit REALLY short), and is very similar to the Legacy of the Green Regent adventures. The only thing that tempers this somewhat is the Lair of the Mad Alchemist doesn't appear to be showing up on eBay too much (yet). It also came with two map tiles. The "anniversary" d20 looks like any random red d20 die, nothing special at all.

Has anyone seen this one before? The seller states that it was given away at a convention in Las Vegas. It looks shitty, but I didn't have a D&D beer mug before.

I think they had them at GenCon too... or it might have been at the GAMA trade show (I DO remember seeing them when they first came out). Good win there Ralf.

Yeah I got it! It's really big, really nice beer mug! I used to drink coffee out of my TSR cup before I started collecting, too. Also, three weeks ago I went to the gaming session wearing that "Too many monsters too little time" AD&D T-Shirt hahahaha... was a nice one-time gag and a perfectly fitting "hack'n slash" session, too. _________________ Tome of Treasures - #1 resource for collectible role-playing games.
