RuneQuest Convention Tournaments

Kree Mountain (1984)
A 4 session, 12 hour convention scenario/campaign by Mark Morrison, Penelope Love et al. Gruesomely illustrated by Brad Ellis. Way back then in the RQ2 glory days Chaosium commissioned the authors to create a 3 box set of adventures based on what they saw here, it's that good. Can a motley band of Sartarites stop the Lunar invasion and find a traitor in their midst? Avalon Hill and RQ3 scuppered the project, but I still have the contract and a filing cabinet drawer full of the work-in-progress. Very few copies of this were ever printed, and you had to be at Arcanacon II to buy it.
First and only edition, 48 pages, paper cover. Average condition, including pencil on stats.

Somewhere in Sartar (1985)
A 3 x 2 hour session convention scenario by Mark Morrison & Penelope Love, produced for Phantastacon '85 (Melbourne, Australia). A squad of Lunar soldiers end up lost in the deeps of Sartar during a tribal uprising. The concept behind the Avalon Hill RQ3 project that-also-never-saw-the-light-of-day "Soldiers of the Red Moon". Only limited copies of this were ever produced, more's the pity. 1985, 42 pages. Paper cover, artwork by Brad Ellis. Excellent condition.

Gorp (Winter 1982/ Summer 2000)
This was Michael O'Brien's hoax stunt, the world's first attempt to dupe the lucrative Gloranthan collectables market with a rare old magazine that was actually a fake. MOB and his co-conspirators (including Ken Rolston who supplied a scenario) wrote articles as if they were 18 years younger. A suitably battered, shopworn copied was then auctioned at Convulsion 2000 and the hoax revealed. Full of amusing stuff from the roleplaying's heyday in the "80's" including naff art, Traveller section and a TRS-80 computer program. Ken's scenario is actually quite good though. First printing (12 copies in all), pink card cover. 34 pages. Mint condition from the culprit.

Gorp Special C02 reprint (Winter 1982/ Summer 2000) This was Michael O'Brien's hoax stunt, the world's first attempt to dupe the lucrative Gloranthan collectables market with a rare old magazine that was actually a fake. A second printing was done for the Convulsion 2002 convention.
Second printing for CO2 convention (20 copies in all), orange card cover. 34 pages. Excellent condition from the culprit.
