It's good stuff.

That's a good plan! ;-)
I managed to pick up just about everything ever made for Wilderlands over the course of the past 30-odd years, and love the setting. On a side note, Rob Conley is releasing the maps for Wilderlands again (in pretty much the same format as the originals, but with vastly improved art work) over on RPGNow --
here's the link to Bat in the Attic's page there -- he's released the City State of the Invincible Overlord map, and the first two sets of Wilderlands Maps (
Wilderlands of High Fantasy, and
Fantastic Wilderlands Beyond) plus guidebooks for the two map collections so far, with the other two sets due to come out pretty soon.
Well worth a look, if your original copies are either a) too precious to expose to regular use, or b) getting a bit ratty now after 35 years or so...
In addition, his other products are there (except for the ones written for HoW, which are for sale over on Lulu (
here), and which would be easier to translate back into TFT terms than the straight D&D versions).
In fact, any of you readers out there might be interested in CR Brandon's
Heroes and Other Worlds -- it's a clone of TFT (with a couple of fairly significant changes), but is easy enough to reverse engineer, if you just want to adapt the available material to TFT. He's done a ton of things translating D&D spells and monsters into TFT-ish terms, has some pretty nice adventures available, and has one truly outstanding "source/campaign book" out for a place called Raedwald. That one alone is worth purchasing even if you don't pick up anything else, just for all the clever ideas throughout every single page of the book! But all of the HoW stuff is good -- I can't speak to the space stuff -- and is worth a look.
