It has been suggested that I post this crass attempt to drum up Christmas cash to the nuevo mailing list, as others had done with Henk's old list. Please excuse the interruption from more productive discourse, and bid on something!

The following Chaosium Oldies and related items are up for auction. Rules at the end of the post.

        Very good condition, with very little scuffing, though some normal wear
        and price tag on front.  Page edges somewhat soiled, and a couple of

Snakepipe Hollow (Chaosium, 1979)

- ---------------------------------
        Classic campaign scenario revolving around region of Snakepipe Hollow.
        One of the best early role-playing scenarios. This is the chartreuse-
        colored cover with William Church art.

        Detached and split cover with 1 inch tear at bottom of front. Contents
        in good condition, though some pencil marks.

        Cthulhuoid and Celtic monstrosities, as well as more "natural"
        encounters for RuneQuest from a pre-Call of Cthulhu and very pre-Doom
        Sandy Petersen. Out of print.

        Fair-Worn condition. Cover partially detached. Some pencil throughout.
        (Previous owner was a slob, apparently.)


Foes (Chaosium, 1980)

- ---------------------
        Books of encounter stats for RuneQuest2. Out of print.

        Fair condition. Some wear to page edges, and previous owner's name in
        ink on title page. Cover covered with a slightly yellowed contact paper
        which has kept it intact. Out of print.

- -----------------------------------------
        A Monster Manual for D&D, T&T, and Arduin Grimore. Out of print.

        Worn cover with creases, tears, smudges, stains, etc. Fairly well
        attached, though. Contents in good shape, except fora bottom-corner
        bash which bent back some pages, slightlym, and some pen from a
previous
        owner on the back page.


Ringworld (Chaosium, 1984)

        Boxed set with four books for roleplaying in Larry Niven's Ringworld.
        Out of print.

        Box: Excellent with edge scuffing and a small dent at the top. The
        box is *NOT* caved in (as all other Chaosium boxes seem to become...)
        Books: Excellent-Mint other than some minor scuffing on the fronts
        of a couple, and a bit more on the backs. Contents mint.
        Other: Mint handouts
