It is mentioned here:

http://icculus.org/~msphil/mythus/di/di-6-2.txt

that back in January 1996 that MMM was posted for download on the TSR website.

For all of you on the Mythus-L list, you know we have something to be happy about right now, the "fabled" Mythic Masters Magazine is now up on the TSR web site for all to download. For all of us waiting for this, it is a day to rejoice, for now at least.

A post on Enworld (which I can't find right now) then suggested that they were posted by an employee without authorization. After they were removed they were posted here:

http://web.archive.org/web/200311211113 ... index.html

And currently, you can download them using ed2k p2p software.

In the great ven diagram of Life, money is but a subset of will.

Don't make the common mistake, as others do, in thinking that it's the other way around.

I agree; Bombadil can be philosophically heavy at times.

After discussions with Gail, and after reading Eric's posted comments about Rob's concerns, I must comment as follows as regards the "Manuscript Warehouse" (aka "The List"):

1. In every case, the offering is for the physical item only. The Right to publication, intellectual property, and/or any other Right is not offered or included. (I'm a trash collector, not a literary agent.)

2. All items by or related to Gary Gygax, Rob Kuntz, or NIPI (including Bifrost and Safari) are no longer being offered. (The Classifieds boards are locked, else I'd amend the listing there as well.) No items in these categories are for sale. The other items remain.

As I recently wrote to most interested parties, I got buried with real life commitments and will get back to the Manuscript Warehouse offerings as soon as I can. Hang in there!

And sorry about any confusion.

Bummer, Bwana, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Alright, well, I grew some and sent Frank an email... here's to hoping.

Aha, discovered that Classifieds CAN be edited; you just can't reply.

The List is now updated.

Frank this is a great offering. I mailed you about one particular item already. As for the missing data, i found this site of Donald J Bingle contained a lot of info on RPGA tournaments. Too bad about the Gygax and other stuff being pulled. There goes my hope of Grodog reviewing Stoink.

A question though:

Operation Bifrost (for CC), 1988, layout copy & original maps
Safari (for CC), 1987, layout copy, original maps, prelim printouts

By CC do you mean Call of Cthulhu (CoC) ?

Cyborg Commando RPG (NIPI), not CoC. (Those items are no longer available.)

Thanks for the info on the Bingle!

My pleasure.

So did you receive my email about the other item?

Very cool site, thanks!

Don't give up complete hope on that, Frank: in the past few months, I've been tracking some old leads on it from several years ago. Nothing more than nibbles yet, but I'll keep folks posted, of course

This really sucks about the Unearthed Arcana stuff being pulled. I have wanted to know details about the Savant and Mountebank classes for YEARS. I guess it's never going to happen now though...

So Frank M., are you able and willing to fill us in on what's happened with the pulled mss.?---are they being returned to their original creators (RJK/Gail/etc.), are you simply removing them from the sale and re-vaulting them, etc.?

Has anybody who mailed him already heard back from Frank M. (ExTSR) ? (I'm getting a bit nervous but i don't want to spam him with too many mails. )

I'm here, but I'm not anywhere near the manuscripts. Real Life overran things. I'll get back to everyone as soon as I can.

Alright, I'll try to be more patient then... which is tough with these kinds of items :-)
