Sorry Ciro, you're right. The publisher was Sintagma, and you were what or english speaking friends call the editor-in-chief (head honcho, high mogul, resident evil wizard and such...)  :lol:

What was so controversial about issue #7? Was the theme 'Sex and D&D' or similar? Being an Italian mag I can't imagine that would have got the editor into hot water...



Regards

Well, no Sex and D&D, but it was a very slim issue - half the others in pages - and it had two comic stories inside. Lots of the D&D people were sadly disappointed - and some instead said they were a good idea - the comics were made to illustrate the basics of D&D, with all the stats, characters and such.

It was the last of the line for the old publisher, and he didn't want to spend much on it, I guess - then I and my other friends came and published from number 8 to 12.

Continuing with the comics, but keeping a good deal of adventures as well - and finely illustrated ones, too.

Hi, I'm one of the newbies. Just joined very recently. I've known about The Acaeum for quite a long time, but never visited the forums.



Recently, though, I caught a nostalgia bug and decided to look up some old Judges Guild stuff. Now I'm hooked! Dang it. As if the new gaming stuff wasn't enough of a drain on my wallet!



(oh, and I'm old too.)

We're all oldies but goldies here I'm afraid, Diablo... and that RPG addiction sure is a bad thing to have. Luckily here we can get some fix for it  :lol:

Introduction time.

Names Jeff.
I am a 30 year old gamer, got into the hobby when I was a well aged 12.  I learned the game from, of all people, a Catholic priest (thank you Father Dennis o'Donnel).

I basically collect anything RPG, my main focus now is the early days for the hobby, but I don't stick to just TSR or just DnD (which has the effect of spreading my money a little thin).


Prize of my collection(as of Feb 2005)...it's a toss up between my ratty Mechanoid Invasion set, The OCE box and my copy of Metamorphasis Alpha.

Yay for the old guys! I started gaming in '79 right after graduating from high school.

Yeah, for whatever reason, the JG stuff really pushes the ol' nostalgia button. I remember going into the nearby game and hobby store and just staring at all the RPG stuff. D&D, T&T, JG, C&S, Traveller, etc. My friend worked at the store, so I just went there and hung out all the time, and of course, spent all sorts of money.



The JG stuff really sticks out in my mind and now I wanna grab up as much as I can. :)

i will always like the JG stuff more than anything else. just used to like the "rough" way the items used to look.



i think some of the material in their stuff stands up there amongst the best RPG stuff about imo.

I have some. Dark Tower, the Maltese Clue, all the Island, Castle, Village, Temple supplements, War Cry and Battle lust and The first fantasy campaign by Arneson. All in pristine condition. Sure the "feel" of the material was rough, but looks like it's more durable than the TSR counterparts.



Sorry this is off topic, but sometimes I love to brag LMAO

Hello Jeff.



The fact u've been introduced to the game by a Catholic priest strikes me as a bit weird. Well, if here would have happened in the same way, all the churches would have been full of youngsters  :lol:

Hi Guys

I have been reading these posts for weeks and thought I ought to sign up.

My name is William and I work in London.  I'm 32 (oh good grief 33 isn't far away!!) and started playing in 1984 at school.  My first memories were playing B4 and splatting the Owlbear with my first natural 20!! :twisted:

I am beginning to build up the collection and I have what I consider aresome nice bits and bobs but very little that has colossal value (apart from some Planescape that emptied the bank account!!)

Nice to meet you all, and here's to many happy chats :D
