Would this make you a Fashan victim?

Nice find.

 Not heared of that sheet before. I've had three copies over the years, so I'm particularly interested in it because it has a map on it and hasn't been present in any of the copies I've come accross.

What is the map? Any chance of a scan of this sheet? I only have one double sided map staples into the centre pages of the book, so I'm guessing this mao is a general wilderness area map?

Here are the pics, there is actually 3 pages, One of the pages is single sided and the other two are double sided.

I'll have to check mine too - I've had 3 copies of Lair too.  I think there are 2 prints so they might have made it into the 2nd print.

well i checked to the aid of dwarves. at the end of the table of contents there is listed: EXPERIENCE POINT CALCULATION SHEET- INSERT
             MAPS-INSERT

Jeff, i think you have my inserts....or i have your module. i'll bring it to the north texas rpg con so we can compare since i just bought my plane ticket and i'm coming down.

or maybe you don't have my inserts Jeff.... i'll bring it to ntrpg anyway.

I've been hoping that folks coming to NTX and/or GaryCon might consider bringing some rares for a show and tell session.  Ideally, Doug and Mike might have some glass cases to display titles but that's not worked out the past year or two.  

Anyway, would folks be interested in something like that?

i brought some rares to gencon a few years ago and it didn't work out as well as i had hoped. they were in one of the display cases at the auction and everyone thought they were going to be coming up for sale.

but yes since i heard Doug brought things for display i thought he would probably like some other rare things to join his so i was planning to bring a few things down...

We are going to work on that this year. Still do not have a line on a glass display case that would be ideal for this purpose,  but we can always put items like this behind the check in table.  Doug will be bringing some goodies, and Stratochamp has indicated he might bring a few things. The way the setup will work in the larger venue, on the wall in front of the check in table (which is actually at the end opposite the door of the ballroom, so you'll have to walk past the vendors and display tables) will have several tables where we will put display items and silent auction items, along with artwork Doug has purchased or that we want to sell.  We do have several old TSR shelving units that up until now we have had no room to setup for the con; maybe this year we will dig those out, assemble them, and place them behind the check in desk or along the wall for displays of this sort of material.  Our main purpose is to keep the items safe so we will err on the side of caution.

People that were at the 2nd annual con remember Doug having several copies of tournament modules, orange B3s, and more up front of the check in table; with more people attending that we don't know personally that wouldn't be practical.  Plus technically anything Doug has there is for sale (at a price you might not be interested in paying), whereas display only items would be handled differently.

But yes, if you have something really interesting that people have never seen, we'd love to display it at the con if we can do it safely.
