The Never Ending Search for Obscure Old Roleplaying Games

[tcpip]

I prize my two copies of first edition RuneQuest, my OCE white box D&D, my signed copies of Jeffrey Dillow's High Fantasy, I feel a strange sense of wonder at Metamorphosis Alpha, and at least once a year one of the gaming groups I'm in will play Bunnies & Burrows (on Easter, natch

Good luck!

Yeah, it can be more fun finding an obscure and old gem where you're not really expecting it than picking up a new game, sometimes.

The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem ;)

I now have an online shop with several hundred items. I don't know whether that's recovering from the problem or making it worse :)

This said, there is a number of obscure old games I've picked up in the past and ultimately they just weren't that great. It really is a case of trash or treasure.

What problem? :-D

This thread is an epic description of The Hunt.

B&B on Easter; I think you win the internet.

Though I am now wondering for which values of $foo there exists a "$foo & $foo" RPG.

Thank you kindly.

We've played GURPS Bunnies & Burrows a couple of times, remodelled Dennis Sustarre's Druid's Valley to include a fantasy-horror resurrection game (very good for Easter), a crossover with a RuneQuest campaign set in Rabbit Hat Farm from Sun County. Facing up to a challenge from one of the players the last game was Bunnies & William S. Burroughs, using the Over The Edge rules; "Homosexual junkie rabbits versus the rock apes of Gibraltar."

I distributed my scanned copy of "Spawn of Fashan" years ago on my blog..

I think a few people found that. :)

Now as the world's wheel turns, I've ended up with two (signed) copies of All-Adventure Action Roleplay Game.

Which means only Realm of Yolmi is left on the Great Hunt!
