You da man! Where do you get these things?  
Now you'll be telling us you got it for $10.

Yes, Mage sold for very cheap (not me, I already own it, but was really tempted to bid more than my 6£...). Astonishing!

So, Ebay for this one (there is the link for the auction in the name of the module). Not for $10, but a pretty good price considering the rarity  
(I'll make pics of another that I got for an excellent price soon )

In addition to the adventure itself, there is 2 new monsters (dramite, a deep-one like; and Giant Burrower, a worm-like with 2 gigantic poisonous fangs) with D&D stats. I have to read the adventure.

I have no Beholder fanzine to check mailing adress. The one on this module is:
Gas Spore Publications
C/o St. John's
East Looe
PL13 IDE
Phone: LOOE 2301

And it has been changed (handwritten) to:
Courtney Mill
Station Road
Menheniot
Cornwall

Authors are Richard Scott and Steven High

*nods* 1/2 page review - generally OKish disagreeing that it's easy to change to any other system, a bit too easy (but easily upgradeable) and a bit thin for the price (presumably meaning £1 rather than £30+ )

Yes, it's me!  I wrote it with my friend Steve when we were still at school.  It was typed on an old, battered manual typewriter, reproduced on the photo-copier in the school office.  I did the lettering with letraset, and the cover artwork was 'heavily influenced' by a Frazetta art book I owned (and nothing to do with the adventure!).

I think we probably printed around 100, and mostly sold them to friends and through our local Games Shop in Plymouth.  We thought we were big-shot publishers when we sold 12 to Games Centre in London, but Games Workshop told us to bugger off.  

I haven't seen a copy for a long time, and have often regretted not keeping one.  If you would be kind enough to make me a copy, I would be very grateful, and that's with the author's permission of course!

Thanks for posting it.  It brought a smile to my face on a grey January morning!

The internet is an ocean with many strange shores.  It's amazing the connections that voyagers can make.  

Otherworld makes a module in high school.  It comes back on the tide decades later.  Very cool.

Pretty amazing to recall that publication all these years later. Actually, we are still waiting for Games Centre to pay us. They went bust within a couple of weeks of taking it...

*g* Be sure your past will come back to haunt you? Sweet...

100 /was/ a pretty decent print run - I had a feeling those were probably mostly sold locally: thanks for the confirmation.
(Actually /sold/, too, eh? Not bad ^^ )

[inserts obvious question] What's the likelihood of a reprint...?

Awesome! 100 copies was a great sale for so "small-press". I'm glad to recall some memories

So you did the artwork? RIS for RIchard Scott btw.
Speaking about artwork, I am wondering why there is a soldier (?) shooting with an assault rifle and with some missiles in the background, on the copyright page?   I'm not sure he would be a NPC...

Sure, my pleasure. I will make photocopies and ship it. Just PM me your adress.

Considering the print run, I am not so unhappy for the price

And BTW, @Aia: shame on you!!!  
sorry to have increased the price on Mage too... Nice win! Even with these blank pages, I guess it is a very decent price.
