This actually frightened be quite a bit, considering when SR II came out,
but a local hobby store still has SRI and the first ed. SSC... They may
have some other stuff, I hope, as well...

Yea, when I lived in Maryland we had a hobby store there that also carried
first addition stuf and charged as though it were the newest stuff to come
off of the presses..We used to laugh..And then feel sorry for the poor sot
that didn't know any better..By the way..What are they asking for the SR1
book??? [collector mode on][screams of anguish are heard from my wallet]

I'm slowly trying to compile all the SR critters into one large database
program, and throw in a little randomizer action.
Can't help it. It's a holdover from the old D&D wandering monster charts. :-)
Once it's done I'll let you all know, and you can get a copy that way if
you'd like.

It's cover price, I think. Or close to it...

I'm personally looking for things like Harlequin, Paranormal Animals of
North American, and some of the other early adventures... Pain in the
ass to find them...

We have a major(read normal) game store(they sell alot of puzzles and
things) that somehow JUST got in a big load of the old modules(Ivy &
Chrome, Total Eclipse, DNA/DOA, Queen Euphoria, Mercurial, etc.) the thing
that I have the hardest time finding these days is NAN1 the same store has
a couple of copies of NAN2 but I haven't gotten around to buying one yet.

Ahh..then I am safe..for a while at least..I may be a collector..But I'm a

Oh, you would ask a hard question..It is located in Fort Meade, MD..What was
it's name....Hobby....Hobby..Hobby something or other..I can't remember..I
can discribe the lay out of the store..But I can't remember the name..If you
know the area it is in the strip mall by the indoor mall in Ft Meade..I don't
even remember the name of the stupid mall..

Yea, one of the local hobby stores has some of what you are looking for..I
know the name of this one..Hobby Lobby..Although, they aren't exactly the
most friendly folks..they do have a fair selection for this area..If you want
their address and phone # to see if they will do mail order let me know and I
will look it up for you...
