Ptolus is one of the very best campaign sourcebooks I own. It seems to have gotten more expensive in actual dead-tree format as the months roll along so you may want to snag it sooner rather than later. This is one of the few campaign books I rated a 10 (brilliantly written, well illustrated, nearly perfectly cross-referenced with the core rulebooks).   We've played through a Ptolus campaign for about a year now - and have recently taken a break to return to Castle Ravenloft.

A paid entry into the World Series of Poker event for next year (Event #57).


RPG’s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. It’s bonded me together with life long friends...it’s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

In no particular order:

- the rest of Maure Castle and Castle El Raja Key
- the rest of Castle Greyhawk
- the 50pg and 150pg typescript versions of the prepub OD&D rules
- the T2 manuscript
- the rest of the Otherworld Miniatures catalog
- a complete run of GenCon and Origins and WinterCon and Michicon catalogs

and last, but certainly not least, Treasure of the Dragon Queen (of course! :D ).

I want a playtester's copy of the prepub rules for OD&D, circa 1972.

No battles, there, Bill:  I'll cede the field to you, then you can answer all of my research questions :D :D

The IP rights to all TSR material prior to the handover to WoTC?

Yeah. I think yours is more likely to happen...  :D

It would be interesting to see the TSR D&D line and the WoTC/Hasbro D&D line slug it out for supremacy.

I had a happy Christmas-wish kind of tale come true today... I was visiting my not-very-local-but-very-friendly gaming store and darned if they didn't have a brand new second-hand section all set up :)

I found a bunch of AH bookshelf games I remember from way back, and more significantly I have happy, happy thoughts of all the closets and basements that'll be shook loose for 'store credit' trade material.

And pretty soon maybe even some new collectors who might tweak to our hobby, and begin to pass by the Warhammer and 4E to count the pages on the 1E DDGs...

:) :)
