Kerry Lloyd had a campaign he ran at The Little Soldier Shop, either in Wheaton, Maryland, or it may have started when the store moved out to Rockville, Md.  (Most of the guys involved in Little Soldier Games and later Phoenix Games, played at the store.)  Kerry continued his game when The Little Soldier Shop closed and some of the principals started Chimerae Books in Rockville.  Kerry's campaign started with about 8 guys.  I played when he initially set it up and then went to college out of state.  When I came back, he had about 25-30 players and three refs.  There were so many people each player only got a few actions in an afternoon.  I went back to college and did not play with him any more.  I suspect a lot of his ideas for Thieve's Guild came from that campaign.  I understand he passed away quite a few years back.  Did Tadashi know him or did he purchase the rights from his estate?

I found a note on another web site that Kerry Lloyd died of a heart attack back in about 1988...roughly the same time as David Hargrave died in his sleep.

Kerry was a very good guy.  He did take things pretty far.  His son was named Conan IIRC.

I saw a post from Kerry Lloyd's son...named Conan.

There are a few Thieves Guild items on But It Now status on Ebay at the moment.



   Is it possible someone was reading this thread?



   The prices are over the top.

Okay now you may want to ask the buyer

For $20 I'll wait and see. It's a gamble, but I wanted the Aftermath stuff from him anyway, so I thought 'what the hell'.

I know absolutely nothing about Thieves Guild, as I don't own any ATM. I'll scann it and sell it. In the mean time, and in light of our present Montie Haul/Tavers fakes discussions, I'm looking forward to doing a nice line in Kerry Lloyd signed pre-pub Keridav's.

Next time a convention rolls into Oak city and you decide to go let me know, Oklahoma City is just a few hours drive from Big D and I hope to do a lot more convention hopping next year.

Good to know Mike, thanks for the offer I'm hoping to get together sometime with Paul Stormberg, perhaps we should arrange some sort of midwestern Acaeum gathering at a middle-ish-ground location like KC or Omaha, or Oak City, or something like that.

Maybe I can get KingofPain to share the ride, he is nearby in Plano, with money to burn . Almost worked a convention in Lawrenca KS last year but the logistics were just too much to handle.....

I didn't know that Lawrence still had any gaming conventions going! I attended KULcon for it first several years (KU-Lawrence con), but they closed up shop after failiing to pay hotel bills in various cities, probably c. 1997 or so?

what's the gaming/game store/used games situation like in Wichita?

Internet-only is what it sounds like, unfortunately. Some of the used bookstores carry D&D stuff, but it's mostly 2e crap and 3e stuff no one was able to unload elsewhere. Wichita is a FAR cry from the OOP gaming cornucopia I had access to in the Bay Area. On the plus side, I'll still travel back there regularly-ish for work, so I can still partake

    I do make it to Kansas City (Missouri side) at least once a year to visit relatives.  They have a great convention scene it looks like, with lots of great guests and events.  Haven't gotten to attend one there in about 7 years but the one I did go to was really well put together and had a good dealer's room, they had a good tournament schedule also, maybe you can get up to one of those sometime. Probably a couple hour drive or so from where you will be.

    I've hit the Half Price Book store in Lawrence a couple of times, but ditto nothing older than 2nd ed gaming wise.  Just looking at the map of Kansas there just aren't enough metropolitan areas to support good used game/bookstores.  I know there used to be one in Lawrence near the college but it closed down years ago.  Wichita does seem to be located kind of in the middle of a whole lot of nothing!!!!  :(   Oklahoma City doesn't seem to support more than 2-3 gaming stores but Tulsa seems to have a much bigger gaming scene, at least convention wise, I don't know about gaming stores there.
