Hey Guys,

  I have a copy of Spring Fever that I got from Coast Con I think in '85 or '86 when I was helping run events.  Not sure of the dates on that. Anyway I'm not sure if it's an origional or just a copy.  I know it's from the con it has writing  from when it was run, though it's not my handwriting.  
  What I think happened was we got the module and made copies for the DM's.  Then I took one home for my collection.   It's not like a regular printed module it's obviously a copy.
  Does anyone know if they sent copies like that or how they sent them? I really can't remember.  I only helped once I believe then the next year I ran my own module that I wrote which wasn't RPGA sanctioned.  
  Also would it be worth anything if it's just a copy?  
  My scanner is not working right now but I'll try and get it working and post some scans if there is any interest.

The original DM's copies were printed on dot matrix sheet feed paper. The maps were photocopied. I suppose you could sell it as a photocopy, and unless anyone complained it would still fetch maybe $100. That said, you might want to avoid all the hastle and accept a private offer. I'm sure a few people will PM you.

ExTSR is the RPGA Tourney Guru on the site BTW. Did you write Spring Fever Frank?


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Not to speak for Frank, but he might not be available at the moment.  Probably getting ready for Gencon...  I think Frank wrote Spring Fever for Gencon 18.

which is why hamilcar might be worth waiting over til after Gencon so we could get some decent feedback on it before taking the matter further....
