The inital print run was about 1000 copies, most of which I still have It was never distributed except for a dozen copies that I gave to an old Friend who owned Nan's Toys and Games in Houston Texas.Darla Hallmark did all the artwork, I paid her $120 for 12 pages of orignal art which she created in about 2 evenings from a short phone conversation we had. I typed the whole manual on an electic typewriter that I rented from an Office Supply (I didnt own a personal computer that had word processing capabilities until 1985). Its fairly obvious that there was not much spell checking or editing. Most of the material came from my homebrewed campaign that began in 1976 or 77. Some of the material was used in a gaming tournament that was held in 1979. Much of the world was recreated using Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, and that server was open to the public for about 5 years under the name of Shroudworld.I am happy someone appreciated the work, however crude it might be.
Great news for collectors of old-school non TSR D&D items....Tabletop Warriors are back!!!!Virtually unreleased, these old style gaming booklets were printed up in limited qualities back in 1984 by Lane Renfro. The booklets contain a setting and scenarios based on Lane's OD&D campaign of the late 70's ('76-'79). Within the pages of "Tabletop Warriors: City and Adventures" lay the basis of a beginning generic FRP campaign for levels 1-4 in the land of R'Lane. Included are two pull out maps of the land of R'Lane and the city of Claybank Greystone; descriptions of the city and inhabitants, with background of the city's history and politics; eight old school dungeon adventures; and "Lore of the Land", which includes new classes, random tables, rules variations, and other items of interest. The 100+ page booklet is very reminiscent of the original D&D or Arduin Grimoire supplements. A collector will find the information very old school in presentation and tone, and the dungeons can easily be converted to any BFRP system.A high point is the excellent artwork of a then-unknown Darla Hallmark; Darla is now a well-known fantasy and fetish artist and created some striking images for this self-published gaming supplement. It is probably one of the most professionally illustrated small print publications of the era! (If interested please check out her website at http://www.unseengallery.com) The original print run of this supplement was 500 copies; only 50 or so were ever actually distributed. Today less than 200 exist, the rest being lost or destroyed through the last 25 years. The remaining copies are going to be available exclusively through Badmike3Books, through an arrangement with the original creator and author Lane Renfro. At some point, copies will be available through ebay auctions; these copies will be signed by the author Lane Renfro (and hopefully by Darla). Later, copies may be available either through the Acaeum classifieds or in my Ebay store for a set amount, to be determined later. At a later date, multiple copy purchases for overseas buyers will be considered. Right now, the only copies available will be slightly imperfect copies (see below). This supplement will not be reprinted; when the remaining copies are sold, that's it! This pretty much qualifies as a once in a lifetime opportunity, as few items like this, original examples of old school D&D gaming from the "golden age" of the late 70s-early 80s, still exist to be discovered.

Badmike wrote:Final price will be determined, I suspect they will be in the $50+ range but do NOT hold me to that. Once again, when these are gone, they are gone…Lane is not going to reprint these.
Mars wrote:$50 seems a bit high knowing that there are 400 copies out there. Its probably a price I would ask if there were only maybe 20 copies - even then, 20 copies at $50 might be a bit of a tough sell.
15000 (potential) dollars - I don't suppose many game designers make that much dough on one product.
