It is possible this was a Cosmic Frog item as opposed to Wee Warriors (Dragonlord was from both WW and Cosmic Frog, if I am remembering what it said correctly - I should have scanned the bloody thing for reference purposes). I know nothing about the Cosmic Frog company other than that it was mentioned in Dragonlord.I should probably note here that since I sold my copy to Mike Kuo (Deadlord39 may have gotten his copy from Titan, but Mike didn't), this still just makes two known copies. The one I had was not disassembled because it had originally been the Judges' Guild file copy.

Those two copies could be the only survivors, for all I know.

Lost it in a move immediately thereafter.Ah well - we all have to have our Holy Grail of collecting and this is certainly mine ;P I'll just have to keep checking ebay.Anyone of you two who own a copy mind putting some scans up on BGG for me to turn green over?

This was called "The Dice of Fate", and had a series of 8 1/2 x 11" prints of my WW covers, my Alarums & Excursions covers (more than I remembered, including one that wasn't used) and some original art that I don't think ever showed up anyplace else.
