Bonus points for dates or authors (I have them to sell).

Both  Wizards 7 sheets stapled, VF.

Lout 13 pgs and two cardstock covers/maps. VF-NM

Paul Stormberg won copies of Wizards 2 and 3 IIRC, on eBay earlier in the year, so I'm familiar with those two issues, though not #4.

I don't know the Dungeon of King Lout offhand, though I didn't check Heroic Worlds for it.  What's the scoop, Tim? :D

This is a "generic" (meaning doesn't fit any one system well) dungeon put out by someone called Infinity Limited. (Apparently it was, as they no longer exist.)

I can't find any date on it anywhere, but the fact that I have it makes it no newer than '84, tops.

I have a scan.

I believe that there is also a review in The Abyss that reviews it as being one of the worst products ever produced.  On that note - I'm interested.

I have Dungeon of King Lout from a burntwire auction, went for $100 IIRC.  It is awful, and awfully fun.   :wink:

When did Burntwire sell one?  I don't remember ever seeing one up before?

About 4 months ago, perhaps...
It was the first one I'd ever seen for sale either, which is why my conditional bid was over $300... I was happy to get it for "only" a little over $100.   :wink:
