  6. Hard range to find at this moment. Yep I know. Very difficult. I know a few have come up for sale here on the boards, but never was in a position to pick one up. Thanks for the response. Anyone else?
  7. Hey guys, I figured I would post here first instead of the WTB as I figured you all would be the ones to know. Anyone here have a low grade 1.5 - 2.0 range Showcase 22 that you would be willing to sell. I need one to complete a SA GL run. I am currently about 6 books away from the complete run. Time payments may be needed depending on price. PM's welcomed. My feedback link is in my sig line. Thanks

  11. Nice Copy! (worship) Stunning book! Very, Very Cool! GL 40 is one of my favorites. A true SA classic!
  12. There were so many suggested ways to develop characters, the DM's guide even suggests different methods.. The most common we used was to role 4d6 and discard the lowest die. We did use the straight 3d6 several times though. One campaign I remember I wound up with a fighter with an 18 strength (honest roll) and a 4 intelligence. The wizard in the party was my handler. The fighter was not smart enough to speak more than a few words. Hilarious game.
  13. Great pick up! (thumbs u I picked one up in my local comic shop about 5 years ago. No dice, but the crayon was still there.
  14. Another example that the true value of anything is, in the end. what someone is willing to pay for it.
  15. GURPS is a fun system. I have played GURPS fantasy, Traveler and Space.
  16. That is too bad. . .but a frequently told situation in groups of gamers I used to hang with. A DM works hard to develop a plot line and then due to a variety of circumstances the games fall apart (players no showing, work conflicts, etc.) I feel for you cause I've been there too.
  17. In my case it was always me simply because its the role I wanted to play and the others wanted to be the players. I loved being the DM or Storyteller or whatever iteration it was for that game. I loved spending my time creating a backstory, NPCs (Non player characters) for the group to interact with, peppering my world with little nuances. What it really boils down to is a creative process that was satisfying to me. Not to mention I actually love reading the games rules and accessories like Scottie reads technical manuals. I spent hours reading and rereading the rules I could quote just about every little thing. Its really a collaborative effort though...your players have to be involved but there are tricks to getting them involved if they are reluctant or shy. Im a gaming dork. Exactly the same for me. I wanted the role, volunteered for it, and was successful. I devised a great campaign, have had multiple players play through it, and all enjoyed it. The greatest challenge D&D faced was technology replaced face to face gaming: getting the players together became such a struggle. Loving this thread, and oh yes I will contribute to it. I fell into the role as a DM. I started developing a campaign world of my own in about 1982 and have been at it off and on since. My other friends ran (and still run) other games like Traveller, Gamma World, etc. I have always felt to paraphrase Spock from Star Trek II that being a DM for AD&D ". . .was my first, best destiny. . .anything else is a waste of material." Yes the geek meter just went off the charts!
  18. That image is responsible for me starting to read Thor comics in 1980. As I read I kept seeing them as they were drawn in D&D instead of the comic artists. Such strong visuals. Here's one by the person who I think did the Norse Gods and some other Deities and Demigods art. I love his stuff. Anyone familiar with the artist, or own any originals by him/her? That is Jeff Dee I believe. He also did most of the artwork for Villains and Vigilantes the super hero RPG from the 80's. I wish I had some original stuff by him.
