I wouldnt give my address to a Codexer.

The real purpose of the thread is revealed

EDIT: ^ thirsty ^

I'm not a "geek girl" just a woman that loves pnp so GIVE ME ALL THESE BOOKS OR I SWEAR I'LL ROLL A NATURAL TWENTY ON YOUR BUTT BLARGHLBLBL

Disqualified for D&D reference, fuck D&D.

 

[ColCol]

Cause, I'll likely take the entire thing.

 

[Destroid]

There are plenty of "geek girls" now so you can still pull some ass even if you like pnp, comics, and other fantasy shit.

It's largely a joke, although I have to say that I tend to find "geek girls" intolerable.

That's why I don't blame normal women at all for feeling the same way about geek guys—except in the case of guys, it's even worse, because geekery is a heart shot to serious notions of masculinity.

Anyway, we're getting off-topic here.

There's nothing wrong with men or women who have geeky hobbies, it's people who put that identity front and centre that are annoying.

You live in Spain, right? Or was it Andorra or Portugal? I work for a shipping company, I can pick up everything for 5€.

 

[WarHamster]

I'd like those WEG Star Wars books, but fuck if I'm going to pay gazillion potatoes for the shipping. Besides, there have been few here who are willing to get the whole shebang, so it's kind of moot anyway. (Nice gesture though, as said.)

 

[Yoshiyyahu]

Aren't you coming to Sydney Blaine? You can just bring it and I can buy all that shit off you.

 

[agris]

*stuff*

Put me in for the Blue Planet books.

As the GM for a 1st ed. AD&D retroclone (Hackmaster 4e *wink* it's the first ed), which is crunchy beyond belief, would you recommend any of this? I really like the sensibilities, mostly aesthetics and world-building, of Shadowrun 2E. That character generation system is total shit though.

 

[Blaine]

Well, I discarded class-based rules systems in the very early 2000s. The crunchiest system I have is almost certainly GURPS 4e. I also have very little fantasy, other than Talislanta 4e, which is non-Tolkienesque ("No Elves!") and is summed up nicely here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talislanta

Talislanta 4e is one huge book and is generally considered to be the best edition. This isn't surprising, since after the early 2000s, everything started turning to shit.

 

[Misconnected]

How much for the lot of it?

If you're going to flat-out buy it, then make me an offer.

I'm not even remotely hard-up for cash, so chances are it will end up given away regardless. I just want them to go to someone who will use them.

My immense cousin and her equally immense husband are out-of-the-closet dweebs and obsessed with Star Wars. They attend dweeb cons yearly and all that nonsense. She's also probably a mild SJW, but it's hard to tell, so that's nice. They have a kid now though, and despite my offering them any and all of my old RPG books (in which they did express interest upon my offering), there they still sit, including WEG Star Wars.

 

[Misconnected]

Well, postage's probably gonna be murder so how about I start with a bid of 10$ for the lot?

- I'm in really fucking far-away Denmark.

I read that link and did some other research.. that sounds great. Please put me down for Talislanta 4e as well as the blue planet collection. The systems don't have to be crunchy, but that's the experience my table has at the moment. Good atmosphere and setting are also important to us, and it sounds like Talislanta has that in spades. Plus I like the idea of a classless system, I've only used class-based for PnP (thought I enjoy classless in crpgs like fallout and bloodlines).

Well, if the UPS calculator I've been tinkering with (from my city/postal code to 1473 in Copenhagen) is any indicator, it could run up $1,000 or more converted from DKK. I entered 60kg of weight into the calculator, as well as an estimated declared customs value of $200. Minimum, even if the weight estimate is high, would be $500-750.

Thing is, anyone who wants these has to pay shipping too, so if you're buying them, then what you're doing in essence is buying first place in "line." I don't think $10 is enough for that.

 

[Misconnected]

Holy shit... OK I'm backing down then. I'd guessed it would be 2-300$

Oh well.

EDIT: you should consider selling your stuff somewhere though. You can definitely get money for some of that stuff.

 

[Blaine]

Yeah, books are heavy. I just now went and weighed a stack (there are approximately four stacks of similar height, plus extras lying about), and it weighed right around 25 pounds. With more accurate information entered into the calculator, cheapest estimate comes to $716.58/4,674.20 DKK:

I've thought of selling them, but retailers (online or brick-and-mortar) might offer $1 a book, or possibly $2, so they can fuck off. I have no desire to hand any merchant almost completely free profits, so I might as well give them away. I could parcel them out on eBay or whatever, but I'm really not sure it's worth the hours of taking pictures, creating auctions, keeping an eye on email for updates, processing payments, shipping the books, etc. for, at most, around $1,000, more likely $500.

Obviously I'll happily pay postage. I'm in Texas.

 

[tindrli]

so how the fuck chinese always offer Free shipping??

 

[Tigranes]

Yeah, don't UPS or FedEx for anything larger or heavier than your butt.

 

[Ranselknulf]

All of the books together weigh 48 kg? (106lbs)

 

[Blaine]

Give or take a few kg, yes.

 

[Ranselknulf]

Hmm, says it would cost me $150 for shipping.

I put 16 X 10 X 16 inches and 106 lbs for package. Definitely within a reasonable price range.

Honestly, just put your stuff in a box and take it over to your moms house and store them with the rest of your old pnp books.

 

[Blaine]

Thanks for suggesting that, Flunkle. I never would have thought of it otherwise.
