Joe:
Truly a FANTASY come true!
My TFT box arrived today in Los Angeles.
Stunned just to see it exist... I have not opened it yet.

Thanks Joe, for keeping the TFT faith and us all in the loop, all these years.
Keep on Trippin'!

 Got back from a business trip to find a
 honkin' big box from Steve Jackson
 Games - the "I Want It All" package!
 
 I really never thought I'd see
 this.  I started this list over 20 years ago
 when the Internet was brand spanking
 new and I was running a dialup ISP.
 I was trying out this new-fangled thing
 called a search engine (AltaVista)
 and wanted to try a fairly obscure
 thing to search on.  Above my computer
 was a shelf with all my old Metagaming
 games, so I tried searching on
 Metagaming and The Fantasy Trip. 
 I found a small Yahoo mailing list, but
 there wasn't much, so I started my own
 mailing list.
 
 Over the decades, I've learned so much
 about the history of Metagaming,
 the Microgame series, and especially
 TFT.  I found a small but fervent
 group of folks who were as passionate
 about these old games as I was, and
 I've had decades of enjoyment talking
 to them (you!) about these games.
 
 And now...  wow.
 
 This is beautiful.  Everything
 about this is stunning.  The playmats,
 the books (hardcover!), the counters,
 they're all so nice!
 
 Now to get a game together!
