I would have paid a lot less for it if our old friend Harami hadn't snipped in at the last second. I truly only beat him by a few bucks, my snipe/bid was what I paid. Whoooo....close one....Lucky me http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... RK:MEWN:IT

And thus we have the last, definitive word on alignments from Michael Moorcock who is responsible for the original set up (tho' not what TSR did with it). I thought you might like the quote"Cute

It was published by DAW in 1976 and originally by Mayflower in the UK in 1975.
