As the mapper for that module, I had been promised copies from both Harley Stroh AND tacojohn. Broke my tiny black heart when I found it was not to be.I too will continue to support Goodman Games (I am the superfan after all) but agree that Joe made "a boo boo." It happens. Heck, I make them daily, and I work in surgery That being said, stay away from hospitals in Minneapolis, and enjoy my maps. Hopefully the furor over this issue, if nothing else, will convince Joe and others to support more 1E products.Rock on guys, this site is the best!Ben "superfan" Waxmanp.s. Looking to trade some modules for a 1st ed DCC #1 or #2 (#2 signed by author Jeff Quinn) drop me a line at [email protected] .

I KNEW I was forgetting something!OK, add to the list:NM AD&D Coloring Album I actually had Blackmoor bid on this one for me, since I was out of cash, and the ATM wasn't giving me anymore that day. Kudos to Stratochamp who, during bidding on the coloring album, saw it was down to just himself & Blackmoor, and let him have it for only $30. Thanks to both of you. I'd been needing this back in my collection.
What a contrast to today--when I started playing D&D in 1978, I was thoroughly confused by all the rules, but picked it up. Now, look what you have to deal with before you start: Dungeon Masters Guide I and II; Players Handbook I and II; Monster Manual I, II, III, AND IV;[b] plus too many books to count of rules for this, that, and so on. BRING BACK 1E AD&D, GREYHAWK, AND MYSTARA (yes and even Blackmoor too!).

If you want to start a new forum for BITD rants and stories--I'm all for it.
