1981 TSR UK flier that I've never seen before. Uses the TSR Face Logo. Some fun quotes:

"Welcome to a world where the Fantastic is Fact"

"The game that begins where others end"

"The D&D game does not belong to this world because it is a game where the imagination reigns supreme".

Plus a usage of the term "Fighting Man" - generally not seen anymore by 1981.

A promotional leaflet from TSR UK, circa 1981, that I find fascinating. "...success depends on how wholeheartedly you throw yourself into the role."

I really like TSR UK stuff.

  1. Yep, I love the russ nicholson and Alan Hunter artwork that give it its distinctive character. This flier came out right around the same time as the FF.

  2. "...yes characters can be male or female." :-)

  3. Great find, Zach. What a rotten cover as a promo flyer, though: slate grey with white lettering?---that's sure evocative of fantasy ;)
