So, I found a copy of this looseleaf
RPG from Legacy Press and it is.... definitely an artifact from the early era of
RPGs. Indeed, according to the cover blurb, it's not even a roleplaying game but, rather, a "second generation, multi-level role assumption game". I've not actually read it thoroughly yet as I just picked it up tonight, but there is some exposition near the back of the book that refers to other early
RPGs such as The Empire of the Petal Throne. As for condition....
On one hand, it has some condition issues (yellowed pages, minor staining, worn edges and corners) but, on the other hand, for a looseleaf game bound only with a metal prong fastener, I imagine it's in fairly good shape given its age. Attached is a (somewhat blurry) image of the cover. Apologies for the image issues - my hands shake and my camera phone isn't the best. Also, what appear to be extremely curled pages in the book are actually photocopies of forms that I neglected to remove before taking the picture. D'oh! And that's a Man, Myth, and Magic box set that it is laying atop.
So.... any guess what this may be worth to a collector of very early
RPGs?
