I think this was the first "RPG" I ever owned and played:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271271943181?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I have vivid memories of that T-Rex looking Dragon devouring either my mage or my warrior.

I no longer have an Odyssey 2, so it is time to part ways.

Coming soon I will be selling my shrinkwrapped Collector's Edition of Icewind Dale 2. I have only ever seen one of these (besides my own) and it was on Feargus' bookshelf.

Look soon for my shrinkwrapped BG2 Collector's Edition, a shrinkwrapped version of the European version of Fallout 1 given to me by Chris Avellone, and also my autographed version of Fallout New Vegas. I have no idea what to price any of these things at, so we'll see what happens.


My wife listed the strat guides for FO1, FO2, and FO3 as a lot:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271272474710?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

The autographed Fallout NV start guide will go up later.







Also... Obsidian man. Come on, of course it's Obsidian.

I would definitly be interested in some of those, but just noticed that you apparently don't ship to Switzerland.

My wife says she participates in the Ebay global shipping program and she SHOULD be able to ship to Switzerland.

All these pages were simply a setup for a simple marketing ploy o_O No wonder you can't get along with your family, you have no business sense.

Serenity PnP RPG:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271272551860?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

The saddest Christmas present I have ever seen:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271272379351?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Getting rid of my n64:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271272390812?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Fallout Tactics box, manual, and tactical bag thingy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271272405311?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649


I do have two ideas for Donut Based RPGs:

1. A game very similar to Game Dev Story, except that you are running a Donut Store and the goal is to become the Donut King or Queen within 10 years. Donut Research, supply management, employee training, and donut conventions and other various things to do.

2. A post apocalyptic game where you discover a derelict donut store in the wasteland and begin a series of quests to get it up an running. The donuts become a popular source of nourishment, where customers pay for their donuts through bartering, ala Fallout. You will need to assemble an adventuring party with members of your staff as you quest for upgrades to the equipment and new recipes.



Some of the bigger ticket items will hit eBay on Sunday I think. Things like a Big Box Collector's Edition of Icewind Dale 2. It looks just like the Baldur's Gate 2 CE, except the only other one of these I've seen was on Feargus' bookshelf.

2 is awesome but sounds like a ton of work for something you're doing in your own time while having a family and holding down another job. Maybe do 1 but give it a Post Apocalyptic aesthetic (i.e. Game Dev Story set in a Post Apocalyptic crap hole but not a total Wasteland... something more like 'Delicatessen' where society is still dying). You could use the setting to theme some things, like donut research to reduce radioactivity in your donuts, use insects as a viable ingredient, security research to stop your supply vans being robbed, etc.

After 1 is done, you can still use it to set up your idea 2 if you want, when you discover the ruins of the donut store in 1 (you could even leave back story elements depending on actions from your game 1 via items and diaries).

Edit; Also soylent green, post apocalyptic donuts just wouldn't be post apocalyptic without soylent green as a researchable ingredient.

So it's the secret project, then. Don't see why you would need to hide your involvement in Project Donut.

Gameplay sounds suspiciously similar to Recettear.

Hmm, this could take some inspiration from Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale.
