I still occasionally get requests for this, the original RuneQuest baboon convention module from 1989. It's become a convention staple over the years, despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that there is little plot to get in the way of three hours of scenery-chewing and gratuitous babooning. There are quite a few photocopies (and photocopies of photocopies) floating around the tribe.
Unfortunately, I can no longer help with these requests. I no longer possess the module in an accessible electronic format. The second rewrite was done circa 1990 on a 4 meg Mac SE with a *gasp* 40 meg hard drive, on a dtp program called 'Ready, Set, Go'. If I do possess the original disks, they're somewhere in my sister's garage along with the mac, my pointy velvet boots, my entire goth wardrobe, my Necronomicon 1 t-shirts and all my vinyl LPs. Even my print copies have largely dissipated after half a dozen convention outings.
What I *do* have and am very happy to make available to anyone interested, is the sequel, the Lunar baboons vs duck bandits 'Beak No Evil/Bad Boon Rising', which ran at Scotscon under the stirling mastery of Tim Ellis and Trotsky. However, be warned that this module is a two team, two session affair, (ten players - five Orlanthi duck bandits, five Lunar army ballista baboons, two gms, five or six hours playing time) so is probably best thought of as a mini larp.
The entire module, with pdf character sheets and handouts, is a 4.5 meg zip, and I'm happy to email it out. While not exactly an intro module, it is a bit of hoot. Keep it in mind if you're planning a convention. No previous knowledge of epigamic display or duck banditry is assumed.
Cheers
John
