I'm glad your auction is going so well so far, it's for a great cause!

I think the Savior Stone Snowball is only good for one use in 2025. Might want to check with TD on that. It's just a fluffy white ball. Think roughly a baseball sized cotton ball that's a tad more firm.

Thanks, Rob! It sounds very cool.

It is a prop, and unfortunately it’s last viable use was GHC 2025, as it was valid for in person only

Hey Fred -- any chance we can get a picture of the Stack of 1st edition/Ad&d modules? Thanks

I had missed Jeff saying that - I'll note that it isn't usable.

10/29 Update - now that we're a couple days in, I'll move to updating 1-2 times per day rather than more frequently.

We are at $4,714.25 so far with 26 unique bidders so far! Remember, at $6K several cool extra items will be added!

We do have an unscheduled addition thanks to the generous donation of a Path of Enlightenment Fragment 1 being donated to the auction. It has been listed and can be bid upon now!

Image for the modules has been added!

10/30 update: We're up to $4764 with 27 unique bidders so far! Bidding has slowed a bit and we still have some items with no bids or very low bids. Let's get to $6,000 - the items unlocked there will definitely spark some heavy bidding!

Fred

Halloween update! We're at $4814 in bids so far!

I am removing the Savior Stone snowball since it doesn't have in-game use anymore and replacing it will a real savior stone (UR 2006)!

Because of limited interest in a mixed 2006 token selection, I am adding something to the mix for the 6K milestone that will likely have even more interest: 2006 UR Woodie - Arrow of Slaying!

11/1 Update: We are at $4,869 in total bids - bids are slowing down a bit with 2 weeks left. Let's get to 6K to unlock some additional items!

I will update tomorrow morning

11/2 update - new bids have slowed down a great deal. We are currently at $4,880.25.
