Tried to track one down a while back - found the author but no response to my communications.  Have never seen a copy.  Probably need to ask Stratochamp if he has one.

Mars says no.  Strat says no.

That's close enough to non-existence for me to no longer care.

Hmm, looks like it.  Could be a reprint/expanded version.

Strange coincidence of names?

I had seen that link.  Presumably someone using one version of the adventure in their campaign.

So I couldn't stop myself from picking up a couple mags cheap to investigate this further.  Sorry for the pink hue on the pics - no idea why that happened.


White Wolf 28 (Aug/Sep 1991) has a tough review:



And then a few pages later, an ad:




Shadis 21 (Oct 1995) has the adventure:



which I believe is just a recycling with almost no editing/revision (says pregens are included, but aren't)  of the previous self published adventure.  Based on page count from the review, I think this is "complete".  And it's definitely the same thing.  Remember this illustration?




Anyway, I should have probably saved the few bucks, but at least I can definitely file this under not interested - from my quick scan, this looks about as crummy as the review indicated.

The only interesting piece would be the story of how a self-published item ended up in a magazine four years later.  That's curious.

I would have no idea where to start.  It's pretty unlikely that the PO Box is still in use by the same person 20 years later.

On facebook, there is a Dave Dollar who is related to RPGs. But I don't have any fb account... If anyone else have one, he can try to contact him by this way, at least to see if he is the author.
