It isn't just d&D and it isn't just for the above reason. I swear I was reading someone talking about significant changes to a pdf they had on dtrpg getting a major overhaul and not having a way to get the previous version. It's a danger with all cloud based storage that only keeps the latest version.
I agree, vague "they are changing things" need some actual examples to back it up. I know they added the disclaimers, but I haven't heard of any changes to the actual text of older edition pdfs.
Fair enough. My point wasn't about the content but about change. Printed books are a fixed point in time. Especially older ones where errata and change had a much higher cost.
Your post was fine, and it led to someone giving a specific example. I just wanted to avoid your post leading to a lot of back-and-forth without specifics. It was more a preventative action than an admonition of your post.
Anticipation of the GBP devaluing?
Hmm, wonder if I should put mine up for that much?

No one does, at that price. But copies have easily sold in the $500 price range: Dune Chronicles of the Imperium | eBay
I'm curious now what the production run was. Was it more limited than the woodgrain OD&D?
If you've spotted art changes it may also just be stuff to do with artist credits. According to Steve Crompton over on Trollbridge no other changes have been made to the text in the older editions.
So this one's a one off. I have no problem with the change and see it as along the lines of Palladium removing *that* insanity table.
3,000 copies, at least according to Wikipedia: Dune: Chronicles of the Imperium - Wikipedia
Yep. It was 3000 copies. I got my copy at Gen Con UK in 2000, when they were delivered on the second day or something. I remember that the disclosure of their only being a 3000 copy run immediately made the sellers put the cost up - it was an instant collectors' edition.
Well, just in this thread, that makes 3 of us that have it.
Browsing Amazon for RPG books, you can relatively easily find some really stupid prices. Sometimes you don't even have to browse. Amazon will point it out for you.
One at that price is my limit.
Probably fit better on a shelf too.
I wasn't a fan of Planescape. But I do like Spelljammer. One of these days I'm going to snag the POD version, but back when I was hunting for it, I realized that I really wanted the box set. Luckily, I got a deal of a mint set for something like $40. I have no idea how much they run now.
I wouldn't go in for that much either. Then again, it's a game I've never heard of that has no significance to me. It seems in remarkably good condition? I'm guessing it was originally a box set and the box is unaccounted for? Although in 1981, it may have been a baggie game, as that wasn't unheard of.I’ve never heard of this game before but I would never spend that much on what I see.

I bought the PoD version from Chaosium when they had a sale a month or two back. The prints came out very nice and I recommend them. Runequest had black and white artwork and mostly text, so there really isn't much of a difference between the original and the PoD version.
In the same real as this has anyone ever heard of an RPG called SuperWARRIOR! It's a fit matrix printout I've had since the mid to early 80's. I can't recall if it was some friend of a friends home creation or an "actual" rpg. Anyone?I’ve never heard of this game before but I would never spend that much on what I see.
