However, in spite of my fandom, I somehow missed the fact that there was a Wizards RPG released back in the '90s! Once I found out, I made it my goal to collect every item released for the game. My full collection completed today is pictured above. The Scortch and Montagar sourcebooks are filled with interesting lands to explore and bizarre mutants and creatures to battle. (Plus several adventure plot hooks as well as fleshed-out adventures!) Anyway, because of the post-apocalyptic setting, just wanted to show it off. I'm reading up on the system now -- point-buy-in based character generation, it seems -- and should be ready to actually run a game or two at Gary Con next March.
(I'd love to try to run a pick-up game at Gen Con next week, but there's no way in Hell I'd be able to learn a new system and hammer together a simple adventure in 7 days -- not when I'm prepping my games already on the docket!)

I have read that James Ward said that Wizards was one of the things that inspired Gamma World. I don't know if that is true, but I will believe it is until he tells me otherwise.
ReplyDeleteGreat movie. I own a copy of it myself.
Slick haul. It's always a nice feeling when a collection comes together.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. My Wizards post is one of my most read! http://digitalorc.blogspot.com/2011/02/ralph-bakshis-wizards-movie-and-role.html
ReplyDeleteHey! Do you still have a copy of the Gamemaster's Screen with the Desert Wind mini module?
DeleteNope, sold it off long ago.
DeleteI managed to cobble together all of the books and materials, let me know if you'd be interested in checking them out.
DeleteIt's a very clunky system, when you start to play it, but keep at it. It has a charm all of it's own.
