Isn't Avalon Hill, too?

Yup.


Being a long-time GURPS (oh geez, now I gotta explain more initials to the
looky-loos: Generic Universal Role Playing System) fan, I'm glad Evil Stevie
is still around, but starting out a 10 year old in GURPs is a bit difficult.
There's something to be said for handing him some dice, giving him a few
odds and ends to start with, and letting him go.

Still have my 1st edition brown-box (no A)D&D(no TM)!  My 27 year old
20-sided die takes about that long to stop rolling it's gotten so round.  :-)

My RPG FoTW (not this week, but it happened during *a* week):
I was in a local Goodwill store, yet again finding no LEGO (for that
matter, I have *NEVER* found even a single LEGO in all my trips to a bunch
of Goodwill stores over spanning about two decades!), I noticed a black
cardboard box, about 5x1.5x8.  Lo and behold, it was the first printing of
the first edition of Traveller, with a price tag of $1!  Even better, when I
opened it to check its completeness, I found Ogre, Car Wars, and a few other
SJG still in their ziplocks stuffed in with the Traveller rules.  At
checkout, I learned that there was a 25% sale, so I got the whole shebang
for $.75.

Good deal!  Thrift stores are terrible on Lego, but they can be great on games.

Of course, Traveller one can argue that Traveller as a game is over-priced
at 75 cents...
:-O
