The series has quite a lot of Realmslore, particularly about Nimbral and the Elven Imperial Navy's relations with Evermeet.
The same seller is offering 42 Realms novels in a single lot: http://cgi.ebay.com/HUGE-LOT-OF-42-TSR-FORGOTTEN-REALMS-FANTASY-BOOKS_W0QQitemZ260178638750
Thanks for the tip. I put the first bid on the Cloakmaster novels. I have been looking into collecting them. |

Thanks for the info, I knew Into the Void had some Realmslore, but was unaware of the rest. Since I include everything that pertains to the Realms in my Guide, I'll have to add these as well. Do all the books in this series contain Realmslore? I'm not going to outbid Hawkins, so for now I'll just pick up The Radiant Dragon. |

Not all of them, I believe that the series begins in Krynn. There may be one other Realms involved title, but I do not remember. Thank you for not outbidding me! I have been coveting the entire series for months. |

I'm kind of thinking that Into the Void and The Radiant Dragon are the ones with Realmslore, can anyone vouch for any of the other novels in this series? |

It's been years since I read the series, and I've not yet replaced those books, either... But as I recall, Into the Void was the only one set in Realmspace. |

Here's another set. I haven't traded with the seller, so, as always, caveat emptor. Because this set is being offered more often now (and not for $28 a book!), I'm not going to post any more announcements. Interested people may search Amazon or eBay for themselves.

 Which auction are you referring to? And were you the person I beat by $1?
I just got the Double Diamond books in the mail today. I didn't realize they were so short! |

Actually, two sets showed up at the same time. I lost out on both (  ). This week several individual volumes were on sale. I've noticed (as with the Cloakmaster series) that availability tends to come in cycles: dearth followed by abundance followed by dearth. I'll get 'em sooner or later.

I recently bought TWO copies of the TSR Spelljammer adventure collection, 9286 (SJA2) Skull & Crossbows, and I have started a separate scroll about it in "D&D Core Products" (because it's not officially "branded" as a Forgotten Realms product) to address some of the Realms-related points in the adventures. I am mentioning it here, however, because it was written by Nigel Findley and seems to have been TSR's way of making a Cloakmaster adventure path without actually using that word (or paying royalties to any of the other writers, I presume!). There are MANY similarities, though, and it's as close as you're likely to come to an actual Cloakmaster adventure path. For example, instead of "Estriss" the mindflayer obsessed with "the Juna," in Skull & Crossbows we have "Thought Taker," the mindflayer obsessed with "the Elders!"
As I said, I wound up with two copies, and I'm willing to sell one or swap it for something which I don't have (Krynnspace, maybe), but let's discuss that on the other scroll and leave this for the Cloakmaster books.
(FYI, for the benefit of new scribes, the two boldfaced terms are active links and may be clicked to go to the desired destination.)

| I finished the Cloakmaster Cycle last weekend. I enjoyed it, but not overly much. It is one of those things where I understand why they did what they did, but I do not really agree that they should have do what they did. Anyways, I got the whole series off of ebay for 14 USD, so I am not complaining. I just wish that the auction had mentioned that the sixth book had some water damage. |

I see the Double Diamond Triangle 1-9 up on Ebay right now, this is the first time I've heard of it. Was it a short print?
I was thinking of bidding just because it's FR. Has anyone read these? The bid is pretty high right now. |
And if the PCs DO win their ways through all the liches to Larloch, “he” will almost certainly be just another lich (loaded with explosive spells) set up as a decoy, with dozens of hidden liches waiting to pounce on any surviving PCs who ‘celebrate’ after they take Larloch down. As the REAL Larloch watches (magical scrying) from afar. Myself, as DM, I’d be wondering: “Such a glorious game, so many opportunities laid out before your PCs to devote your time to, and THIS fixation is the best you can come up with? Are you SURE you’re adventurers?” -Ed Greenwood

I paid the big bucks for just one of them and was shocked that it was a skinny little thing hardly worth the name of "novel." Mind you, it may be an outstanding book, but I'd be happier if WotC repackaged them as a single big book. It grates on the nerves to pay so much for (seemingly) so little.

The other day, I found 7 of the 9 Double Diamond books on eBay... With a Buy It Now price of $20!
And they were all in better condition than the copies I had. I am pleased with myself for finding that auction before anyone else.
The only thing I have to decide now is whether to list the duplicates as a lot or individually...  |

While we're on the subject of difficult-to-find books, I managed to nab copies of the first two volumes of the "Dwarven Nations" trilogy from an Australian supplier the other day. Which is neato! Now all I need do, is find the final book.  |

Which part of the country are you living in Thielan? I know a few used bookstores in Western Australia and South Australia that have copies of most of the "Cloakmaster Cycle" books. |

Sorry from Vic so unfortunately that doesn't work.
I've got a good Sci-Fi/Fantasy oriented bookshop nearby, but I've tried the other places he recommended |

Complete Cloakmaster cycle on eBay
