Well, I'm once again looking through my closet, and have some friends
looking through THEIR closets, so if you have any older games, (or
newer ones for that matter) that you're looking for, give me an email
of what you're looking for, and I just might have it.  I'll be posting
some lists soon, but if you don't ask, I can't know what you guys are
looking for. :)

Of note, I'll be making a list of Dragon magazines I've got soon, as
soon as I get all of the numbers and conditions down.  If you have
particular issues you're looking for, even down to the single digits,
please give a me a yell, and tell me what you want, and I'll make a
deal with you before I put the rest up for auction.

Thanks for your time
email any responses to :  heinlein@matt.ksu.ksu.edu

For sale:

AD&D 1st Ed. modules: All these modules are in very good shape. With the 
noted exceptions, each has slight cover wear, but no rips, creasing or 
missing elements. They have all been used once or twice in gaming, then 
occasionally thumbed through. 

A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity
D1-2 Decent into the Depths of the Earth
D3 Vault of the Drow
G1-2-3 Against the Giants (I've had this one the longest. It is in good
 shape, but it has a bit more cover wear from being shuffled around over 
 the years).
S2 White Plume Mountain
WG4 The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun (This module was taken from the
 shrink wrap, but never used. The corners of the cover are blunted just 
 a little, but only from being in a box of books for a few years).

I would like $5 for each module, but will take higher offers. Respond via
e-mail.

Hello everyone out there!!! I'm quite interested in roleplaying games, and have 
been playing them for about 5 years now (amazing how time passes by). I have
tried out Rolemaster, James Bond, Warhammer, D&D, AD&D, and several home-made
editions. 

For some years ago i bought the TOP SECRET S./I game by TSR. This is a great
game indeed. It is just SO smooth; one quick roll of dices and you know all
you need to know... It is quite so relaxing for the DM (GM, ADMIN, etc.), but 
maybe this is because I've gotten used to ROLEMASTER's game mechanics...

Anyway, one day I decided to develop my TOP SECRET S./I further. I wanted to buy
some exstra rules and stuff... But realized that TSR seemed to have laid the game
on ice...(?) I live in Norway, but we've had quite a good supply of games here, 
so I was really dissapointed with the fact that they didn't have anything for my
favorite game any longer.

Is there anybody out there with more information about this excellent game??????
Well, if there is would you please contact me...

Everything that you have is of intrest. From home-made stuff (modules, rules, 
etc.) to old things you've bought and now wants to sell... 

Maybe you know where I can buy new rules, modules, etc. Norway is a small and 
slow country, so we don't get all you BIG guys get (USA, England, Germany, etc.).

Excellent game.  No dice - purely a strategy game. Game mechanics:

        Object: To be the first player past the winning post.

        Every turn, you get some number of `carrots'.  The clever
        part was that the number of carrots you got was related to
        your current position - first place only got a few, but the
        further back in the race you were the more carrots you got.

        Movement cost went up as the square of the distance moved.
        [1 square cost 1 carrot. 2 squares cost 1+2 carrots. etc.]

This meant there were at least two possible winning strategies:

        Hare:     Get so far ahead that no one can catch you.

        Tortoise: Lurk in last place, amassing vast numbers
                  of carrots, then suddenly surge to victory.

I've won (against the same players) using both strategies,
so the game balance seems to be about right.

	There was mention about a defender ALWAYS making a defense
with a QC roll and how it sped up combat.  Somewhat nice, I suppose,
but doesn't differentiate between dodging, parrying, and blocking.
(And according to GURPS, there's a pretty big difference.)
	One thing I have changed in my games is that when an
attacker is making his roll to hit, the defender MUST state then and
there what defense (if any is available/whatever) he has decided to
take.  Not totally realistic (we thought about adding an IQ roll or
a skill roll appropriate to the enemy's weapon, but that was just
too many...) but it added an interesting twist to combat.
	The biggest problem I've come across in combat deals with
people who have good strengths and move and a high PD.  It doesn't
happen often, thankfully (in fact, almost never...whew), but when it
does, it can get a bit annoying.  ("Well, Lord Bashar dodges his
fortieth arrow...")
	I haven't, for the past three years, I guess, had a problem
with this, though, so I don't know if it's because of my GMing
tactis or the way my players run their characters.  But regardless,
our combats tend to run pretty damn fast and furious.

 Don't bring jamming into it. That problem is inherent in the system regardless
of whether you use the -ve on random hits. It'll happen with any system where
the jam is related to the critical miss. Of course if you limit jams to 17 or
18 the problem goes away...

For the record I don't impose the -ve for random hits either.
