My copy arrived today...in perfect condition.

The page numbering is a bit eccentric...could you explain it again?  

My heirs will be suitably puzzled by this artifact...but the signed and numbered front page will let them know they've got something special.

Now...dare I try to use it?   

It sounds like you're talking about copy number.

I'm talking about page numbers....not that it really matters at all.

I presume if I have 58 pages (incl. cover) them I have them all. I won't be changing the page order, and as you read it, the original partail numbering is fairly easy to follow.

This does not appear in the 1st batch of 5 (which kind of makes them extra unique!)

Now I understand why I didn't understand the numbering problem  

Hardcore collectors and print junkies will want one copy with and one without page numbers

I didnt check the page count... the only (likely stupid) question is: both title and contents of the thread is about G5... but the title of your MS is actually G4... did i miss smtg?!?  

No, you didn't miss anything. The 5 in G"5" is noted thus. The OP explains how I was going to originally begin writing giant adventures with the G4: Castle of the Cloud Giant Queen. After I completed it (and its sequel) I shelved the idea, because it required the players to use evil characters against good giants. I didn't think that fit into the premise G.Gygax had established in the original series. So, it sat in my closet for over 10 years.

When I decided to tackle the idea again, I started from scratch, creating the G4: Sanctum of the Stone Giant Lord, which came out in 2009 I believe. But, I still wanted to use cloud giants, so I took the "old" G4 (the copy you now have) and rewrote it and turned it into the G"5": Castle of the Cloud Giant Queen for part 2 of the series of 6.

The copy you have, designated as a G4 "Castle of the Cloud Giant Queen" is, IMO, truly a unique item that one seldom sees nowadays even from collections of old material of writers from the golden days; too little original notes and MS were/are kept.

Hope that explains it. Glad you got it intact.

I thought I had sent you a PM about it. I received mine awhile ago. Sorry about that. Everything looks good and its on my "to read" stack. Thanks again.

Still waiting to hear on these

I just read through the G4 adventure.

Thork, my congrats. It was an enjoyable read. Nicely put together and thought out. I wouldn't say you're an artist  , but everthing else is excellent. Good storyline, very adaptable to any campaign, new monsters, nice dungeon maps, nice world map, prerolled characters...I mean, everything's there! Makes me wish I played once again to try it out.

Very good product. If other products in your lulu store are like that, you've got a new customer!

Keep them coming!!
