I would like to ascertain what is "Yellow dragon"

http://www.planetmars.ca/loki/IMG_9368.JPG

Is it an old fantasy rpg or just an adventure module?

any info will be much appreciated.

Which game would you compare it to?

It is clearly a self-published product, the closest thing that it reminds me may be "What price glory?!" by John Dankert.

But WPG is a good game in my opinion, one that you could still play nowadays instead of OD&D.

Does the same apply to Yellow Dragon?

i don't have my copy in front of me, so the author might be different than the publisher, but what price glory?! was published by james lauffenburger. i'll check later.

so it is copyright james lauffenburger, but on the front cover it reads: by john dankert & jim lauffenburger, so we were both right!

Wait, let me get this straight: are you asking me to actually open and peruse my copy?

Mars might be willing to wantonly open his copy to check for content quality, but to me, that's what doubles are for. Alas, I have only ever seen one copy of this item.

With apologies,

Stratochamp

I contacted Jim Lauffenburger who did WPG. He was not involved with Yellow Dragon. Has any more info about this product come to light? I assume it is a Zine? What is the year of publication?

Maybe in the 8 years Bill has changed - willing to pull your copies off the shelf (I'm out of town right now) :)
