Sideways in a magazine size bag, with a magazine backer board cut exactly in half makes for a tidy presentation (reference the image of Dwarven Glory above)... if you insert the book wrong-side-up then the flap wraps around twice ending up on the back, which I like.

Ooo! Ahhh! Ummm. O.K., what are their titles?

Edit, Ooops! It helps if you scroll down a little. :oops:

Sorry. I'd posted just the picture and then thought "nah, someone's going to ask what they are..." so I added the titles.

I wondered about that. I thought for sure there were no titles, and then I posted, and then I felt like an idiot. Thanks for solving that mystery for me.

I finally find the time to make pictures of a part of the Digest sized books I have

I didn't picture traveller books, most of common books (as justifiers supplements, and so on)

And closer view

Don't kidding me, those are pretty hard to find!! It took me years to finally got copies of them! Really!
But no link to AD&D

It is a humoristic RPG where one can play cops.

It exists some pdf of the 2nd edition (that could be dll on the author website).

I wonder if they got in hot water with TSR over the obvious logo ripoff. Maybe too small an operation to be noticed.

Too limited run. They were producted by an association and limited to 50 numbered copies. They were sold only in local gaming shop.

Forces of the Swedish Crown by Sapherson. I don't think it is rare, but I haven't seen it on the posts. This is the 1991 printing. Apparently, it was reprinted.

I really like the DTP booklets. All their products are among my favorites.

I forgot that Holocaustic dungeon booklets were digest sized too.
Certainly because I regret to spend money for them :lol:

Forces of the Swedish Crown is wargame rules isn't it? It seems to have been reprinted in 1997.

Wargame rules, yes. I actually got it in a craigslist purchase of fantasy fiction books. Was a neat little bonus.
