Any of the geek contingent want a pile of Battletech books?

Nope; I only got into a year or two before they stopped making them and the only person I ever played it with regularly was my ex. Once we stopped seeing each other, I've not played it at all. The only card game the current GF plays is Rummikub.

I've still got about a dozen Doomtown decks in my old room at my parent's place. I made loads of Scoreboards, Ghostrock and Bullet Modifier counters in Paintshop and mounted them on card, so it was easy to keep track of everything during play. Tragic, I know: But as a fellow RPG player, I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm playing Monopoly with a few mates tonight (new "chip and pin" version), maybe I should try and get them into it. Last time I checked on ebay, unopened Doomtown card sets were dirt cheap...

...or perhaps we should bring a deck each to the next meet and have a quick game over lunch?

Heh, why not? I really miss it, great game. I keep on meaning to get in touch with some of my old group (at the last UK championships my mate Steve won, I was second ) but it's never happened yet.

i got ****e loads of spell fire cards, magic the gathering cards, vampire the masquerade cards, plus loads of old warhammer and roleplay stuff in my loft.

I am not aware of said card... Though I did always enjoy roleplay... Warhammer role play, Cyberpunk, and the original TMNT...

i remember cyber punk.

was never familiar with warhammer roleplay though, apart from warhammer quest ( which was basically a copy of D and D)

bloodbowl was the nuts though

I'll have to dig it out of the attic and get some pics

Warhammer RPG was/is cool. Really nice simple system to play around in, loads of scope for 'House Rules' and addaptation to different genres etc. Though yeah - the book is a bit of a doorstop.
As opposed to Rolemaster - all dice rolling and no roleplay.

I sold my original First Edition D&D box set for a fair bit ages ago. Few months ago I sold a single MTG card for £160 and a boxed collecters set for over £400!
God bless nerds with money is all I can say, they paid my bike insurance and my other bills that month.

i cant find anywhere to sell my stuff to.

otherwise i would

I never really got that into Magic... So I took my cards to Gencon, walked up to a stall and said "How much for this", expecting maybe £30 or so. "Um, we can't pay for that lot this early in the day- maybe by 5pm, if we do good business?" Hmm. "OK, I'll come back later". £500. And they could've had the lot for a pint

Here you are a few pics.
