If the book gets back to the U.S. in time for Gencon, has it been suggested that it be shown to a certain E.G.G.--if he's there--for his take on THE BOOK?

I honestly think it would just confuse the hell out of EGG.......the backstory would take so long to set up I don't know if it would be worth it.....

I mentioned this in one of the other threads about the book.  Why in the world would anyone show Gygax this book?  Even though it is 30 years later I am pretty sure that I wouldnt want to read a bunch of negative comments about something that I created.  He might be fine with it and get a chuckle out of it....but he also might have an aneurysm.

Now....having him autograph it and be oblivious of the commentary would be extremely comical in my opinion.  Kind of like the scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Hitler autographs the Joneses grail diary.  :twisted:

I have it - thanks Brendon! I read through it over the weekend, and was mightily impressed with Jim's rant.

I'll add a comment in the back - who wants it next? Beaster? Hermit?

Regards

Mike

Hi Kosh -

I have it at the moment. It's still in Australia and as far as I know Brendon (addermcone) has seen it and now its with me.

I posted a couple of times looking to see who wants it next, but didn't get any response. If any members in Australia want a look, let me know via PM - otherwise I guess I'll send it back to the USA.

Regards

Mike

I'll be at Gencon (Oz & US) so I'll be able to pick it up and hand deliver it to the US if need be come August, if everyone's seen it in time.

Still with me.... waiting for a PM from someone who wants it next. I'm happy to send it out either here (Australia) or overseas, but someone needs to put up their hand and ask for it.

Regards

Mike
