I finally gave in and read it last year, it's a really cool concept. I think it'd be great to GM and/or play in it.

I still think of it as 'chapter approved' because that's what it was originally called (it refers to itself as this) but I think there were a couple of later books also called this.

I think I'll leave it alone for a while now :)<br /><br />It's surprisingly easy to repair these old books. They did such a nasty job on them when they first bound them that the glue almost falls off. <br /><br />Now that I've got my "precious", I'm as happy as a pig Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90423495413148122.post-33581784755560027122016-01-08T05:09:26.512-08:002016-01-08T05:09:26.512-08:00NIc enew blog display and awesome repair skills ! ...NIc enew blog display and awesome repair skills !
