Mike B. i bought it for my dad for christmas last year. i've probably watched it at least as many, if not more than he has.  yeah H's role in that was masterful - the close-up's just ooze quality in his character, but in all, i think the casting was class. probably my favorite role in the film was Jason Robards, altho most of the rest are all a close second anyway.   an absolutely fab piece of cinema. i would love to see a re-release on the big screen. wow that would rock, but reality check, that would never happen you will really enjoy the DVD chummer.....and i guarantee you will watch it again within a month or so Al Traveller Prolific Collector Joined: 12 Jun 2004 Last Visit: 03 Dec 2008 Posts: 603 Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 3:59 pm     red_bus wrote: I was chuffed to have got this MERP map at this price - which is normally quite hard to find.

I've been after a copy for ages... I don't know if $25 qualifies it as a Fun Find, but I was happy with it. I also won a few other items from the same seller - mostly FGU and wargaming stuff. Most for good prices too. An interesting aside - the seller's name is Richard Snider, and the name rang a bell for some reason. I remembered that was the name of the co-author of Adventures in Fantasy, done with Dave Arneson. I asked him if he was the same, and he confirms it is indeed. I've asked him what it was like working with Dave, and I'll post any anecdotes he tells me about.

Richard's got plenty of stories, although more from later work, together, since he was on the periphery of Dave's original group. (Try also; http://abroere.xs4all.nl/pnp/background.htm and other refs to his eBay handle, online). Yeah, some very nice stuff for sale... Picked up an excellent 1st print "Space Opera" boxed set in passing, amongst other items. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5169080257 johnhuck Verbose Collector Joined: 06 Jan 2004 Last Visit: 12 Nov 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: Leicester, UK Posted: Sat May 14, 2005 6:03 am The Traveller book with dustjacket (despite the photo not showing this). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5192059206 mbassoc2003 Sage Collector Joined: 03 Jan 2005 Last Visit: 03 Dec 2008 Posts: 2448 Location: UK Posted: Sat May 14, 2005 6:29 am I don't know if it's moraly sound to post a recent fun find that came with a purchase from a fellow Acaeum member.

It seemed to me that thet were all part of the same set. I checked everywhere and found nothing by a passing reference to it on after glow.  Oh well, my loss I guess.
