Hi folks---

While in CA this week, I found a non-TSR book that I haven't seen/heard of before, called "The Panjiiatic Omnibus": written and illustrated by J. Howard Higley, Edited by Jane Jacobs, published by Classical Fantasie, (c) 1990.

Does this ring any bells? I'll post some scans over the weekend.

I think they also produced "Rules for Sex in Fantasy Role Playing Games" but I haven't seen this one either.

Looks like a D&D clone. Interesting.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Looks like it's the same guy: the domain is registered to a John Higley, though there's no mention of an audio book with the Panjiiatic book: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/r ... ntasie.com

Also no mention of other books on the release schedule yet: in fact the last page states

Anyway, that's all for this edition. If you have any suggestions, complaints, comments OR orders write to: [blah] (*And be easy on us, okay? We're just starting out.)

=)

The book also includes a two-sheet, four-sides stapled handout of "Things I Should Have Included In The First Edition (...but didn't)"

The Panjiiatic Omnibus is no longer an orphan - its at least a twin

Classical Fantasie did indeed create a few items:

The Classical Fantasie Roleplaying Rules
The Panjiiatic Omnibus
The Rules For Sex In Roleplaying Games
Madame Ruby's Interdimensional Pleasure Palace
The Vacationer's Guide to Erogenia
Monster Cards (Desert, Dungeon, Dungeon 2)
Deck of Many Things
Traprunner! (Near-future dark sci-fi adventure module)
The Three Challenges Of Zona (XXX-rated find-your-path book)
Zona And The Children Of The Moon.(XXX Sequel to the above)

The Zona items and Erogenia also became an online comic:

http://www.barbarianprincess.com/

I have listed all these items on the Tome of Treasures:
