Uncovered Treasure [Mar. 28th, 2008|10:09 am]

A friend of mine returned some rpg materials to me last night: most of my WEG Star Wars stuff and a Paranoia boxed set.  He had kept them for about 10 years.  

This wasn’t contentious or anything, mind you, I gave them to him when I thought I might be getting out of gaming for good.  However, he shortly ended up getting divorced, and though he had lost them during the upheaval.  He recently discovered them going through some boxes that had been in storage all this time.  Boxes believed to be old clothes and unimportant papers, had my treasure within.

 

It was awesome to skim through this stuff again.  One of the coolest things for me was finding stuff I had created: adventure maps, margin notes, a cheat sheet that was essentially a DM’s screen page written in pencil on ¼” graph paper.  Then there was some of the cool published stuff: poster diagrams, the mock ads,* and especially the official Sabacc rules.  The Sabacc cards were missing however, but I think I had lost those before.

 

I’m also the kind of guy to troll through the credits, and found one set that caused major cognitive dissonance: Galaxy Guide 6: Tramp Freighters was written by Mark Rein*Hagen and Stewart Weick.  I just would have never guessed the WW guys would have written one of the most highly acclaimed SWRPG books.
