I MAKE FUN OF QUEER STORYGAMES BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY LIFE THAN MAKE OTHER PEOPLE CRY

I can't understand these kinds of games, and not getting it bugs me almost as much as me being weird

Bah, there hasn't been a True Christianity since Romans stopped persecuting them. Once it became a major religion it fell straight into the trap that all organized religions eventually fall into. You might find a handfull of believers here and there who actually follow the virtues and teaching of Christ, but as a group they're a wash.
That would be like a Dune Messiah game.
I really need to finish learning French and translate that Dune RPG.

Everyone is Mara sounds like it would be a very strange game, but

a buddhism-inspired game exactly halfway between In Nomine, Demon and Nobilis where players take turns playing as a central character, while others control bodhisattvas that guide a character away from the chains of aversion and desire. Also sometimes you fight incarnate demons of desire. Love: The Extinguishing.

That sounds a lot like an Excrucian campaign anyway.

Seems you're not getting PMs for some reason, or I mistyped something so...

I thought I had more than these six, but ... I have these six! The Core Rulebook is in rough shape - it's a well-loved RPG book, with annotations, post-it flags, damage, probably pencil marks, etc. Everything else is good.

If you can find a proper buyer, you can actually get decent money for those. I did, at least, but that was at the Gencon auction.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I actually still own a few of those from when they were new. Since I'm not trying to get to the KOTOR book off you, you can pretty much name your price on those if Amazon is anything to go by. What is the condition of the books? Any bent pages? Might pick up one just to replace my damaged copy.

I'll let you know. I'll post around a bit. I am mostly interested in selling as a lot, but it looks like I could break Old Republic out and sell that one individually. I haven't set a price yet, but if you have an offer, I'll listen. :)

e: No promises on the core book, but the others have only been browsed through a bit. That's it though. The core book is ... well, it would be fine as a backup copy for a player or something.

e2: JFC, no way anyone is paying $600 for Old Republic. You're crazy, Amazon.

Yeah, I considered selling my Saga Core Rulebook at a Used Game sale once for a paltry sum, and then I checked its retail value.

Suddenly, I decided that I would be better off keeping it.

Amazon is pretty dumb for either RPG books or video games that are out of print. Check "sold" listings on eBay for a more realistic idea what stuff is worth.

Yeah, I was just trying to rid myself of most of my d20 material several years ago, of which I have been completely successful. I didn't originally think I'd be able to move d20 shovelware like Legends of the Samurai or but somebody wanted it and somebody got it and I got paid, so...

Then again, I'm the one picking up books like Cosmic Enforcers, World of Synnibarr Ultimate Adventurer's Guide, or the The Rifter 9 1/2, so I can't throw too many stones.

I can almost assure you that, somewhere, there is a Star Wars fanboy who would pay that much. There is a reason I keep my rpg collection in good condition. Star Wars books don't go down in value as much as you would think for RPG books.

Yeah, but a quick search shows that you can get a new copy of the KOTOR Campaign Guide for about $220, a used copy for under $100.

A lot of stuff on Amazon Marketplace is listed according to algorithms computed by a bot somewhere. I once went looking for the most expensive RPG book ever--I wanted to see if there was anything more rare and highly prized than Dune: Chronicles of the Imperium--and my "answer" was some map pack listed for like $15,000 followed closely by Greg Costikyan's Price of Freedom. (PoF is rare, but not that rare.)

I don't know the source of dragon CRs being deliberately lowballed, but accidentally would totally be possible. Like most of the early 3e things, the designers clearly underestimated the potency of giving dragons full access to the sorcerer/wizard spell list.

I think the story was that the boardgaming discord was originally setup as a TG discord but most of the people that joined were boardgaming thread regulars. Then the other two drama discords got created. Boardgaming discord is pretty chill.

Because literally nobody wants him there? I mean, I have him on ignore for a reason, as does half of TG.

Also the "two discords" thing has the incredibly mundane explanation of "created at roughly the same time because neither of us are mind readers" so sorry to quash all the drama.
