OK, I need a reason not to bid on this.
Swords & Sorcery SPI, 1978
This is one of my favorite board games of all time. On the surface, it is a standard SPI game covering fantasy warfare with some character-driven elements. But then you read the damn thing. Much of the game setting was based on the extremely weird D&D game that designer Greg Costikyan was running for the SPI crew. Puns and in-jokes abound and along with the traditional army units you get Giant Killer Penguins. The entire feel is somewhere between serious wargaming and a RPG session entering it's 17th hour and third case of Mountain Dew.
Aw, hell... someone is selling a mint copy of Freedom in the Galaxy too...
