40th anniversary of ITL publishing coming up

Any thoughts on this?

I remember eagerly awaiting ITL as 8th grade concluded for me. That summer, we played at least 5 hours every week, but I imagine I sunk more than 10 hours on top of that reading the rule books, scheming about our characters, and "system busting" -- figuring out ways to exploit the magic system in world-breaking ways. One of the characters eventually had a keep on an asteroid, reachable by gates.

So the anniversary is coming up... I wonder if SJ Games has anything in mind?

A few brand new posters by Robert Phillips and/or Pat Hidy? I'd buy those.

Cool! I remember like it was yesterday when I spotted the freshly minted TFT magazine-format books on the shelf of my local hobby shop. My friends and I were already massive Melee/Wizard/Death Test fiends, and we went berserk with the new books.
