Historically important as one of the first full-length books about RPGs. Has an in-depth survey of many of the RPGs available at the time. Lots of neat examples of play in the style of the Basic rulebook. And a complete rules lite RPG with a sample dungeon!
Just thought to take a look at this title on the Bay of e, and see what the prices were... Ye gods! The cheapest one currently is $49 plus shipping...! I paid nothing near that to get a copy a few years back.
Drool.
ReplyDeleteI never find stuff half that interesting when cleaning the garage.
ReplyDeleteOf course, my wife would say, "you clean the garage??"...

ReplyDeleteBit of a shock - I got mine a few years ago through Abe Books, for considerably less.
ReplyDeleteBizzaro, found same book doing same thing...Odds?
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet!
ReplyDeleteOriginally purchased at Half-Price Books sometime in the last thirty years, for $4.95. Thankfully stored in a bin.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about the book is the picture of the author on the back.
