[Missing in Gaming] Secrets Vol. 1 and Vol. 2

I found Rackham's Cadwallon: The Free City RPG used for cheap a few years ago but haven't been able to gather up Secrets Vol. 1 (few copies to be found) and Vol. 2 (currently only in French). Rackham stopped the line about 2-3 years ago and no further development occurred. They concentrated on Confrontation, the miniature rules the world of Cadwallon is based in, until going out of business in October 2010.

The art for Cadwallon is wonderful, which is the main reason I picked it up. As for the system, I'd probably use another, more generic one, like Savage Worlds or even True20.

[Missing in Gaming] Realms of the Sun Book 2: Heart of Stone

In order to complete my Everway collection, I still need a few more books, including the two Realms of the Sun books. I previously mentioned the first book and this one is the second book. Heart of Stone is 76 pages and was published by Rubicon Games in 1997.

Again, I can't find this one for all the searching I do, both in bookshops around the Seattle area and online.

Maybe one day I will find them both. Maybe you can help. If you've seen this book in a local shop, let me know!

[Missing in Gaming] Realms of the Sun, Book 1: Bright Fires

I'm only missing a few Everway items and this is one of them. Originally published by Rubicon Games (now Gaslight Press) for Everway in 1997, it's 84 pages long and pretty damn hard to find.

And yes, when it was first out, I wasn't aware of it. Otherwise I would have picked it up. Now, I can't even find it for love or money. There are NO copies anywhere, it seems. Even Amazon doesn't have it. So I search for it, through used bookstores and online, at every opportunity.

Maybe someday I'll find it. Maybe you've seen one in your neck of the woods and will let me know. Here's hoping!

[Missing in Gaming] Takishido's Debt

I bought Takishido's Debt for FGU's Bushido in the 80s. Heck, I even had the Bushido box set. And in the early 1990s, I gave them away. I can get the Bushido set back, actually the re-printed book, not box, set.

But I've never seen this module ever since.

Someone has it for sale on Amazon for $35, which I haven't brought myself to even considering it yet. Maybe I'll find it in a used bookstore. Or maybe someone out there is reading this and has a lead on a copy.

[Missing in Gaming] Games That I've Missed

Why do I hunt through used bookstores and gamestores? Have you wondered why I know all the bookstores, comic stores and gameshops in a 50 mile radius?

See, it all started a long time ago ....

I missed a lot of games, either because I owned them at one time and foolishly lost them or gave them away or I missed them when they first came out in the shops or I found them but didn't pick them up because I thought I could get them elsewhere. So here I lament the lost, missing, stolen games of my youth (and old age). And there are a bunch of them.

So this category is all about those games that I'm seeking. Maybe you can help me find them. If so, drop me a line.
