No problem.... I saw it a few days ago and thought I'd bid if it stayed cheap (that way I could keep one copy mint, and maybe run some lions through their paces with the other).

Worth $10 just to read the rules IMO.

Regards

*lol*

Hmm... I thought I remembered a few creases on that previous one. Was I wrong 'bout that?

Yeah, that was the idea.
Gameplay is stated to be a bit skewy, but would certainly "stand out from the crowd" (;)) of other items around here.

Wow, maybe I should riot, or at least withdraw my ambassador.

*g*. Yup, neat cartoon cover, too; http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/41346

Everyone is too worried about everyone else's sensitivities. I thought this game was funny when it came out and I still do. Ironic that anyone might find it offensive, since it is about how Christianity heroically prevailed against persecution. There was a pretty good Gary Larson, Far Side cartoon that showed Christians and lions checking out the signup sheet for their matches.

I don't think I've ever really been concerned about other's sensitivities. I don't give a rat's ass if someone wants to whine about it being offensive. Phuq 'em. I think it's hilarious.

Glad to hear you're okay following the hurricane!

Sounds like a good quest for a tournament module!

Fluffy Fetches the Chalice

Chalice Quest

The Chalice of Gamer's Desire

Something like that.

Well, Frank has two so maybe he'll be open to auctioning one in the near future with his new eBay selling account. :wink:

Original cover art to C2 Ghost tower. Keep it at my desk and look at her often.

For me, it would have to be my original DM's screen. I DM'ed the same group of guys through junior high and high school, through a ton of adventures over countless weekends and I used same screens for it all.

About a year ago, a couple of these old friends and I played again for the first time in about a decade. They lugged their books to my place and we stared setting up at the dinner table. I put the screens up and they gave me this odd look. "Dude, the screens are backward - that one has to be facing me."

I dug that.

Went through the closet for spring cleaing and donations to Purple Heart. And in the back with my old Gencon T-shirts (that my wife begs me to throw away every year) is the T-Shirt I got for first place in the 1984 Zef (Fez) Deathstorm AD&D Tournament. It is a size small - all they had left by the time I got to the winners announcement. If I ever figure out how to use photobucket, I will post a picture.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

I suppose my "crown jewels" are the things left over from the days when I used to play. The items in questions are the modules that I designed and wrote myself.

On the commercial side, the most memorable piece is the book that started the collecting frenzy (and the money sink)- a first print D&D from e-bay, for about $20.
