Anything on my "next to impossible" list, like a 1st OD&D, R7-10, etc. The stuff that I see every now and then (well, except the R modules) but can't afford without selling a lung. I live in a pipe - dreams there are so very good.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Once upon a time I purchased a large original painting that was on the cover of an RPG. I contacted the publisher, and he gave me an e-mail contact for the artist. The artist sold me the painting (no reproduction rights) for a very reasonable (i.e., cheap) price.

I would like to be given 30 secs in which I can take whatever I can carry from Stratochamp's collection. I'm not holding my breath.....unless that would help?!

Not to be soapy but id like Gygax to be alive, healthy and writing 1st ed AD&D material, finishing Castle Greyhawk himself, and have the rights to AD&D and Greyhawk. Since that is unlikely id settle for Tramp reappearing and working on Wormy.

To still be able to buy kringles from Frank Mentzer.

But I will settle for The Infernax or a copy of Cavaliers & Roundheads.

Indeed, legend has it that his entire collection is submerged under a sea of acid, so holding one's breath would be a start.

I heard it was inside a giant thin-skinned rubber dome, under a steaming-hot lake, and protected by a giant crab.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

That was before we discovered it, forcing him to move the whole thing to a nearby site called "Chicago".

By the way, the crab proved to be an ineffectual guard, having become half steamed by the heat generated within the fleshy dome.

I'd rather fight my way through WPM than deal with Chicago traffic...

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Oh c'mon, I've been to Stratochamp's place. If all 3 sets of guard animals are chained, the traps deactivated, and the secret doors revealed, you can walk right in.

For Christmas I'd like the designers notes / manuscript for Up the Garden Path.
