There should be a dungeon written based upon the layout of this game. The location of the little buzzer thingies are where the treasure will go.

"A game based on the popular pastime of role playing games which during the 80's were still played with graph paper and multi sided dice."

They did? Paper, dice- as late as the 80s? What..savages. Good thing the situation has been rectified in the modern age.

In the big stack of Model Retailer magazines I bought I found a lot of interesting photos - the most intriguing is the one with Gary Gygax, Marvel Productions president, CBS vice president of Children programming and... all the D&D Cartoon Characters  8O. I saw the TSR Booth at the HIA Trade Show in 1980 (small photo, but interesting).

Dang!  I've got one of those D&D maze beach towels.  I never thought anything about it until I read this thread.  Unfortunately, it is not in the best condition.  I can grade comics but not towels.  My guess is very good condition. Anybody think it would actually sell? :?:


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Hmm... there is, indeed. I should just peruse all the magazines, find the image, scan it and post here. By the way, how do you post images here?

You'll need to upload the pics to somewhere, and then link to them here using the [img] tags.  If that doesn't make sense, then you can email them to me and I'll put them up for you.   :wink:

I read somewhere that these tend to fall apart if you actually use them


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Get it fast folks. TSR 1987 Childrens Annual  GBP5

Question: were these published by TSR and how many years were they released? Or is this the only one?

This one I think is from Marvel.  There is another Annual as well - I think its the 1986 one and also a comic or two with the cartoon characters.

After a long, long period where such toys were impossible to find, the last two weeks saw a flurry of activities on eBay.it and I got some Ljn toys (Italian carded, that was the hard part...). I'm really happy  :D

http://www.flickr.com/photos/28697569@N ... 68/detail/

More toys coming soon. I was unsure if the Italian language Fortress of Fangs ever existed, but the answer seems being YES  8)  I feel like a child again  :wink:

Pinball game, Pinball... are you joking?

If you didn't have that :...


The D&D pin is actually very difficult. The action is very fast compared to any other pinball game I've ever played. So if you buy it, you may just want to look at it because it does look very nice.

Some details about the game can be found here:

I know someone in DFW who owns it and might be open to offers.
