I'm Jon Gilbert, I probably still have a copy of it somewhere

No kidding, I almost feel sorry for the guy, unless he has a box of them like a couple of other "rare" items.  lol.  I wouldn't mind one of these either.  But, I still have a lot of catch up to play with some of you!

I think you're kinda missing the point... These guys are collectors; they want to take the remaining copy/copies off your hands and salt them away so the module increases in value, not see it published it with d20 (oh, wait, 4th edition is the latest) stats so everyone will have it...

Yes originals;) I certaily don't mind it updated, posted etc.. but I think this might be the wrong place for 4th edition (even 3rd ed.. or D20.. or whatever..).. Nice filler in a mag or zine??

Brette:)

(aside: Just popping by, sorry: late, late back last night and early away this morning = PM & email backlog... to follow soon).

Excellent to hear from you, Jon! How did you find this thread?

Ah... that explains a thing or two: so it was carried forward to GamesFair '86 /after/ the (poorly judged, IMO) cancellation, since it was "too good to waste"? Quite a nice bit of work, thanks, with Mike Brunton's "maps & typos", as the credits say; but majority yours.

I hadn't thought that through since the standard format was to have a cover letter and additional typescript to cover the tourney added inside a foldered version of what would later be published in Imagine before it had been fully marked-up; q.v. "For the Honour of the Tribe", below - as later published in Imagine #2 - for comparison.

No problem on that, Jon, if you definitely have the official thumbs-up from WotC on the reworking since there are (c) signs plastered over the mod and they've been more than slightly protective recently about anything going "wild" that shouldn't be. As-is, that's probably just about the rarest item actually /sold/ by either TSR or TSR(UK) with bonus marks, perhaps, for working alongside Mike Brunton whose "Up the Garden Path" has a very silly price tag attached (IMHO).

Cheers,
David.

Teddies;


For the Honour of the Tribe (ref., aside);

Join the gang david - a bunch of us have been putting together plans for a major heist on David's house for some time.  The idea is to get away with the whole hoard. It will be like the Italian Job... only on bicycles.
