Now as for your question, did you mean copies of the RPG or of this campaign? If the former, you being in Australia is really the least of your worries. Yes, shipping costs are murder, but the costs of the physical books themselves (when you can find them) are rediculous (and frankly, the books that are the most expensive seem to be the ones which least get used in games. Seriously, apart from a few tidbits in Swordsman's Guild, I don't remember the last time someone used the stuff from it.)

But if you're really interested in running stuff, we can discuss it more. Ultimately I would love it if the campaign went worldwide but I don't see that as a truly realistic expectation.

Ah, maybe I should intro myself;) I'm more of a collector these days, 2 young kids and a 60hr a week job does that too you;).. however I do collect all things RPGish.. I already have all of the origionals book as well as the fanzines.. I'm missing that I can see is Nevus Ordum Mundi #1, a 7th sea membership kit and maybe NOM#5, or crowsnest#5 if they exist..( I remember finding something online that made me think that at the time when I made the notes that they may exist).. thats only the 7th sea stuff of course.. its much larger that just that;) In fact I hvae to now put it storage at the moment its got that large...

Unfortunatly there are a bit hard to come across.. but I have been doing it a while now and the collection is rather "large" if I dod say so myself.. I see myself preserving them more than anything else, for exapmle I have given coppies to author of the games they have written when they no longer have a coppy themselves..

As a fellow obsessive completionist, I would be remiss in not mentioning all the eBooks and fan products out there. As for the NOM, there are only 4. But Crows Nest has Issues 0-4 with an odd 1/2 Crow's Nest, 1/2 Doomtown Epitaph (marked Issues 1 & 2) which are technically issues 5 & 6...

(the deal fell through with the pins manufacturer). As for a nest number 5, I would need to dig a bit and see what I have in the stack as I have it all.
