I have a copy of one of the rare completed copies here, it's one Steve mentions in a post in the other thread I linked. Steve has donated it to NTRPG con (Thanks so much, Steve!!!). Doug and I don't want to do anything with it until we see what it might be worth, and if there is any chance we could run copies in digest form to sell for NTRPG con (need to talk to Steve first). Just curious how many there were, what the one sold by Paul Stormber back year's ago went for, any info at all about it.

Here it is for download:

If you have a "copy" of the original manuscript, I'm not sure how much value it has when seemingly anyone can print up their own "copy".

Yep that's it!.  As to why printing up your own copy, well anyone can do that for anything.  This is actually an original, but it's printed so cheaply it would be hard to tell the difference I suspect. I think I'll get Steve to sign this during NTRPG Con to give it a little luster, surprised he didn't just do it before sending it to us.  We'll stick it up for auction one of these days to see what it does on the open market.

Actually, Steve states on the thread that he found a copy and I assumed he created the pdf from that, not vice versa.

I  believe more than one copy was probably printed off in 1984.  But I'll ask Steve and see what he can tell us.

That's awesome!  Definitely get him to sign it too or letter of authenticity - its funny how "formal" our hobby has become.  Great to see that some of the original stuff has survived.

Congrats Mike.  It is well deserved and I'm glad it goes to someone who understands it's value to our hobby.

I'm pretty sure I uploaded some supplementary Mistworld stuff in PDF that was in with a job lot of Steve Marsh's contributions to various publications.
