He lived in Poulsbo when he was trying to get his job back at TSR (post-WOTC buyout). Lia and I picked up some trick stuff from him, as well as a fair bit of books and furniture. He drives a tractor trailer now, and lives in Nebraska with family.Centurion13
This is a mint copy of RPGA module R1: To the Aid of Falx. I purchased this copy at Gen Con back in 1982 when it was first released. I carefully slit the shrink-wrap across the bottom, slid the wrap off the top to gently look through the module. I then slid the wrap back down on the module, slipped it into a protective archival magazine bag, and put it in a file cabinet sandwiched between other modules. There it has remained for the past 22 years. This is probably the most perfect copy of this item you'll ever see.
It appears from reading the info there that these modules were numbered and it looks like Frank signed them. Mine has neither a number nor signature. Also, the title page layout is different than what is shown in the close-up of a Pre-Production copy which they have there, as seen in this link: Page Not Found As you can see, my module lists this as module #RPGA-1, while theirs lists it as module #R-1. Also, my module mentions that this was used at GenCon South in February 1981 but, unlike their copy, makes no mention of it ALSO then being used at GenCon East in July 1981. These two things make it appear that my module is an earlier version of the one shown on the Acaeum site.
