Yeah, maybe I'll take it with me when we go down to Pennsylvania for Christmas.  I tend to think that the author had hopes of getting it professionally published . . . the lack of price or even his name (which was only handwritten) doesn't seem to indicate it was a "final" product.

Nearest city is Williamsport (home of the Little League World Series).  It's about 3 1/2 hours south of Rochester NY.  

Lots of small towns .  . .

This was some guy's magnum opus.  I like it even more for the fact that it feels amateurish and is difficult to read.  I'd like it even better if the artwork were more primitive...more obviously the work of some Goth girl in his gaming group.

    I was never a believer in high gloss finish and snappy art.  I want to feel like a co-conspirator when I read a gaming publication.  

Mark   :lol:

Looks pretty much like standard Apple Mac fonts to me; as does the clip art. ;)

Heh. Dug out some old work and they're not quite the "original" Mac fonts.

BTB, is that lasered or not? Curious minds...

Again, I say clip art ^^
(If it were otherwise, the rest would be to a higher DtP standard, I think :))

Hey, nothing against their "miniature opus" :D

Ah, gotcha, I won't be in the area there, alas.  Have a safe trip :D
