Thanks for that tip! But I can't use e-Bay, since I refused to give them a ton of personal information they insisted on before allowing me to use their service. I'll just keep an eye peeled in the usual places for now -- Noble Knight, Wayne's, Amazon, and Boardgamegeek. ;-)

Sadly, my "closest FLGS" is about four hours away; I don't make it down there very much.

Different Worlds magazine. Issue 15, October 1981. "A Modest Proposal for the Fantasy Trip." David R. Durham.
This was probably the most important article I ever read on TFT. Dunham proposed splitting each of the 3 Attributes of TFT into 2 parts. ST became Strength and Constitution. DX became Dexterity (more properly, Agility) and Success Chance. IQ became Intelligence and Knowledge. This allowed more character variety and did a lot to solve problems such as "Conan the Wizard," since a Wizard would now buy Consitution rather than Strength. It also allowed Heros to have more Talents without having to become smarter. It was a single page article, but a little bit of genius. |

Ah, right, the Dunham article. Well-written, well-thought-out, and solved some problems by turning it into D&D :)

Well, it certainly created a game with 6 Attributes that's for certain, but I'm not sure that it did anything else to make the game more like D&D. What aspects of the approach did you feel did that Steve?
