Knights & Knaves Alehouse

Hi,

a difficult question for you- real experts of AD&D' most obscure items.

I'm really puzzled by this supplement. What is it? I'm very, very curious.

Anyone has hints? Anyone owns it or ever played using this optional rules?

I think it's a very interesting item, not only due to its obscurity- but because it covers an important aspect of AD&D- namely, combat.

I wonder how is it possible that no one ever mentioned it on Dragonsfoot (it seems so to me, i made a search and it returned no results)-
Someone must have played it somewhere in the past or read a copy!
Ok AD&D sages, i'm looking forward to hearing news from you

thanks

Never heard of it, and can't find any info on it. Only NobleKnight and a German website even list this supplement, and neither of them has any info on it.

Never heard of this before.

Never heard of it. There is an entry for American Games over on the Tome of Treasures @ http://www.tomeoftreasures.com/forum/vi ... .php?f=545 but no info on the Proportional Combat System (just some on a SF title published the year before). Google translate doesn't help much on the German page either:

I'd ask over on the Acaeum in their non-TSR forum, and hope that Mars has bought a copy of this one

This was a third-party product with, I'm guessing, a real small print run. Possibly like, xeroxed a few dozen copies and sold it out of the local game shop type of small print run.

These are the type of products that can be utterly amazing or utterly horrible, and positively littered the gaming scene in the late '70s and early '80s.

If anyone knows anything about it, I'd love to hear it.

thanks guys for your effort.

I'm going to try to ask at Acaeum to see if someone bought it in the past.

If you find anything out, please come back and let us know.

Here's the Acaeum thread, in case anyone's curious: http://www.acaeum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10561

Hilarious...

That's not much of a thread.

Sounds like the precursor to blogs and forums...
