Phew. I had it on my watch list just to see how far it'd go. That's pretty insane. Sure woulda been cool (to me) to have on my bookshelf.

Got the same set in a box around here someplace. Along with the second version (single book), and a copy of Gamma World (the original).

No letter from Gygax tho.
He can be fixed -- you can't.
