Try making interjections of sarcasm that point to the absurdity of human existence. Those are always on-topic.

And here's my last Fun Find from Saturday... the last I'd seen one was on ebay in 2012.  I'd been looking at least that long!  So when it popped up in my saved searches, I was very excited to have another opportunity to bid.  It arrived here just yesterday (great postal service from the UK!):

I once found 5 copies of the 6th edition CoC rules listed on their web site for $0.00 and they did fulfill the order! :D

Very cool, Dave---you'll have to let us know what you think of it, after you've had a chance to read a bit :D  

I dropped out on that one to focus on the The Beholders and Spectres zines, which I'm hoping will arrive soon!

A little too dependent on dimensions, directions and dice rolls for me to call it a winner.  Choosing north/south/east may have it's place, but without foreshadowing and context, the decisions feel dry & lifeless.  Solo adventures struggle I think to deliver consequences from choices.  It had some moments of zany, but not enough suspense to feel like an adventure to me.

The art however is excellent :)

Cool find Mark!
Is this a publication, or a magazine?
Does it have fantasy content, or is it all science fiction? It looks like it has fantasy content...
Who was the publisher, and what year is the copyright?

Thanks Mark.
My wife won't be happy with you for necessitating that I add something to my want list :-)

The resemblance to JRRT's Smaug on the back cover is noteworthy:

I saw you crossed off a few items from your list the other week so good to add another one.  It is more product than magazine.  Here's the table of contents.

Not me, but it looks like it's missing the map.

Various issues of The Space Gamer magazine, 50 cents each. Fun mainly due to all the product reviews, many of which were sent in by readers & exhibit all manner of entertaining writing styles & criticisms unrestrained by professionalism or good taste.

"...the game looks every bit as bad as it is," states the reviewer of something called Phase VII, "so few gamers will be tempted to buy it because of classy packaging." -#57 (11/82) Then the reviewer compares it to 1974's OD&D, the most unfavorable depiction anyone can ever think of.

Such harsh judgments also prompted replies from the game manufacturers, & these are every bit as precious: "We are disappointed. When we publish a bad game and get a bad review, we take it. When we publish a game system like Adventures in Fantasy we do not expect a magazine like yours to publish a poorly written hatchet job by a reviewer impressed with his own critical commentary. Not one customer, even those who had to wait several months to get Adventures in Fantasy when our printing was delayed last winter, had one bad thing to say about it...At Origins we expressed a strong interest in advertising in your magazine. Since this is our only effective protest...we will not place any advertising with you this year." -#32 (10/80) At least they'll always have fond memories of Origins.

Not a fun find on my part but on Goodman Games' part. A very limited number of modules they found in a warehouse and thought were long out-of-print. So if you're a DCC collector, check it out:
