RPG a Day: Day 20


Question 20: What is the best source for out-of-print RPGs?

Second hand shelves at your FLGS, followed by pdfs. This is my preferred order, as I do still prefer real paper books. The source of the pdf may be drivethruRPG, or not, depending on if you're looking for a legit source or not.

I must admit, I'm not a great browser of ebay for these things, as ebay use in Canada is low, and international shipping prices make this very much not an option for me financially. If I were in the UK, this would be different.

The Necronomicon Press stand was there, where I hooked up with a copy of TED Klein's: The ...

You’ll need six people, a couple of rooms, and a few hours. It might mess you up a little.  I have yet to read or play the game, but knowing of it's source, I can but recommend it. True Love Match originated in my sheer fury at the cruelty of  The Bachelor as an entertainment format, and a sudden insight that I could mash together Emily Care Boss’s Breaking the Ice and Gregor Hutton’s Best Friends into a  Bachelor game.  As someone who is also left completely baffled by the popularity of the bachelor, even within my own household, this certainly seems to be something I could connect with.
