[QUOTE="CarlZog, post: 2149396, member: 11716"] Unfortunately, I unloaded a lot of those before anybody ever thought about "collecting" this stuff. A few other old favorites: [b]Alarums and Excursions [/b]-- There's something about the old issues of this 'zine that make me all misty eyed. There's a fervor in the writing and the crude presentations that's rarely seen today. It always seemed to me as though the people in A&E were so overflowing with ideas, they couldn't get 'em out of their brains and onto paper fast enough. [b]Top Secret [/b]-- original, of course. I have ALL of it. Still dying to play that again. [b]World of Greyhawk [/b]-- 1980. First big, professionally done, campaign maps I ever saw. Inspired endless plagarism.:p [b]Flash Gordon and the Warriors of Mongo [/b]-- by FGU. It was an absolutely stupid game that I never actually played, but I was so smitten by the idea and the book that it remains a treasured favorite to this day. The gems I foolishly and regretfully let go of in several different purges: Free City of Haven Cyberpunk, 1st ed. En Garde Dieties and Demigods (yes, the good one!) Tunnels & Trolls, 1st ed. The Fantasy Trip Morrow Project ...and certainly others I'll only remember after I post this. :( Carl [/QUOTE]
