Only when the stars are right will R'lyeh rise, the Great Old Ones will return to power, and Scott will make it to a gaming convention.

@ shalaban - Finished the material, and I must say the MMMs have some great crunch-factor! The addendum was also quite nice. I'll need to brush up on my magick system before a final verdict on the new castings, but it looks promising. Reading the Editor's Pit and The Town Crier's Gone Mad! was like jumping in the way-back machine. Classic. It seemed as though some of the optional and additional rules for combat in particular would really add some "oomph", and there was more pantheon info than I'd probably ever need. Very much appreciated. If you've got anything else you'd like to share, sign me up! On a side note, I had to go a little amazonian on the ebay-o-meter - purchased the 6 Journals on Thursday. #4 and #6 arrived in the mail today!

Yes without the MMM’s the system is lacking. As well the Addendum is needed for corrections and omissions in the main books. So they are handy. ‘The Editor’s Pit’ and ‘The Town Crier’s Gone Mad!’ are some of my favorite writings from Gygax. He really lets lose in some of those! ;D I am very glad you got a hold of the JMags! If you don’t mind me asking, how much did they run you? They are nicely done though don’t you think? Do you have the Unhallowed and Changeling material yet? If not let me know and I will send them to you. After that I will try to send whatever else I have. I am happy you are getting in to it and hope you run a game for people so as to spread the goodness that is DJMGRPG. By the way, any chance you will be attending GaryCon I? If so I will surely be running a game in a hotel room somewhere if not at the con it’s self. ;D

That yahoo group has been around for some time, but most of us are semi-active at this point! ^__^

Considering the football thing we have going on here, maybe it will be tomorrow.

If so I will surely be running a game in a hotel room somewhere if not at the con it’s self. ;D Journals ran anywhere from $1.65 - $9.99... the S&H averaged around $5 additional per. #1 5.99 #2 6.99 #3 1.65 #4 6.66 #5 9.99 #6 7.77 I don't have the Unhallowed or Changeling, although after reading the MMMs, I'm definitely interested! I'd also be interested in the Phaeree Bestiary, as I've even seen Gary his-own-self recommend finding a copy if possible. There's a running joke in my gaming group about our DJ campaign (I didn't run it!)... Although we all liked the system, it may take some cajoling and suffering through numerous "pirate" jokes to get them back to the table. Not to mention trying to find the time to do it... ahh life. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that this is the first I've heard of GaryCon. We'll see what else I've got going on for Mar. 7, but I'll keep the date in mind.

Wow, those are not bad prices. I thought they would be going for more. I have sent you Unhallowed and will send you more A.S.A.P. Changeling will be next. Then more. Perhaps in the future things will sort themselves out and we will all be able to buy high quality books of this fascinating system. ;D Until then I guess people like us will seek out this information and help each other out. I only found out about GaryCon I two or so weeks ago myself, and it will be the first convention I have ever attended, but we have to start somewhere sometime. So I hope you can make it!

Yah, I was pleased - it didn't cost as much as some. Thanks again for the info, I'm interested in how Gary envisioned these - in particular his "horror" system. Has anyone ever thought about going in on a small run from lulu (www.lulu.com)? I'm sure there could be some copyright and/or trademark infringement associated with such an endeavor, but it's a thought... alternately, you could just have one made for yourself I brought GaryCon I up with the wife, and it's a possibility. ;D

Cool. I’m glad your wife was receptive to you going to Gary Con I! Hope to see you there. As far as publishing is concerned Hasbro owns the DJ system, so unless they decide to do something with it or sell it, I suspect it will continue to get ‘The Raiders of The Lost Ark’ treatment. (i.e. Locked up somewhere in a warehouse never to see the light of day again…) Someday things may change, but until they do, the [glow=red,2,300] DOOMSDAY[/glow] board is here for us! ( Right Scott?)
