Never heard of that one, unfortunately.  A hobby shop I visit on
occasion has a bunch of old stuff, so I might scan the aisles to see if 
that one's there (they still may have a copy of Advanced Wizard on the
shelves, buried near all the Runequest stuff....).  Fortunately, the
store's an hour away - since I got married and had a baby, I can't afford
to dump $100-$200 a month there anymore.....

Well, I live near Milwaukee, Wisconsin (land of cheese and beer, der hey),
but my older brother lives in northern Maryland.  Unfortunately, this is the
guy who's way too busy to play anything.... Heck, If he had the time, I'd have
made a SFB gamebox for Cyberboard, and we'd be playing that by email, along
with TFT.  He did run a GURPS 'Top Secret Agents in Ravenloft' PBeM adventure
for a while, but several players lost interest and dropped out, and it 
died.

You have to admit, though, that as bashing goes, this wasn't bad - it didn't
get nasty, and it was pretty short.
