According to boardgamegeek, the AH Witchcraft Kit of 1974 had "6 Female & 6 Male Witch Character Cards." Character Cards? Like in an RPG? In 1974? Interesting...

Well, heck. I think I can help with that. Let me make sure, though, as I have lots of boardgames / non-RPGs at my disposal... didn't think anyone here would find that one interesting, though it plays rather fun, in my opinion.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Interesting item. What is the history of that? Which year was it published?

The FAKE Frank might be interested, he is on a shrink kick, I hear.
I've seen this a few times before, but I don't know much about it.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

I was wondering when Bottle City would hit Ebay. This is the first one I have seen:

This was done by Jim Dutton's company Entertainment Concepts Inc (ECI) in 1985. ECI had their own Play by Mail games such as Silverdawn and Star Trek and also released some generic adventures. Here's a listing of various ECI stuff:

All of them are tough to find. I would be interested in knowing some of the details about how it got farmed out to another company though instead of in house TSR.

The Coug had one up weeks ago, but I didn't feel like advertising for him.

Wonder if there's maps with that one?

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

Have to say, I'm still hopelessly confused by the PPP numbering schemes and print runs. Is this one of the Limited Editions or just the Standard Edition? If Limited (and the price on the back cover suggests that's what it is), why 500 copies? I thought there were less than 100? If Standard Edition, why does it have a $150 price tag? Misprint?
