Queen Victoria and the Holy Grail

[ffutures]

I just found a spare copy of Queen Victoria and the Holy Grail, the Golden Heroes adventure I wrote for Games Workshop in 1985 - fairly badly battered and slightly grubby cover, but the pages are clean apart from some staining in the top margin of a few pages, and it still has the page of cardboard cutouts.

I'm not sure what to do with this - I'd like to raise some money for charity, but it probably isn't fantastically valuable, and I suspect that it will sink without a trace on eBay. Anyone know any fanatical GW collectors that might be interested?

Email GW and ask if they'd like to buy it on the off chance they don't still have a copy?

I'm not sure they even admit to having published Golden Heroes these days!

They still assume the foetal position and rock back and forth when they hear the word 'roleplaying' eh?

Sad what happened to GW.

Considering that they killed Dark Heresy as soon as they got it out the door the answer can only be "yes".

When was that? I wasn't aware GW had published a roleplaying game in... oh lord, 15/20 years?

Good lord, that's extraordinary.

You'd think that world, with all the novels there are now, would be just perfect for some sci fi gaming.

Marcus,

If you're in no hurry to get rid of it, why not scrawl "Author's Copy" inside the cover, sign it and stick in the auction at Constitution? I'm too cheap to pay some guy on Ebay the £7 + postage he wants for his copy, but a properly graffiti-ed copy with history is a bit different.

Or you could try the charity auction at Conpulsion - the guys there will pay fantastic money for just about anything. Last time I went a level 1 Menger sponge made during the auction of freely donated MTG starter set cards sold for real money. The proceeds go to their chosen charities rather than yours though.
