Flying Buffalo is an old RPG game company who made Tunnels and Trolls. Grimtooth was one of their company mascots. They produced a series of books under his name:
Grimtooth's Traps
Grimtooth's Traps Too
Grimtooh's Traps Three (Never published)
Grimtooth's Traps Fore!
Grimtooth's Traps Ate
Grimtooth's Traps Lite
Grimtooth's Traps Bazaar
Grimtooh's Dungeon of Doom
I got a trap published in Too, like, 20 years ago, and recently I came across the acceptance letter and scanned it in for shits and giggles.

I admit I understood, even thought it puts me in an age catagory I am uncomfortable with. Good piece of memorabilia, Bruce.

FBI was still in business not long ago when I looked.
I played about 5 games of Starweb from the time I was about 8-11 years old. The web based game didnt recapture the experience sadly.
I bought a AD&D book at their brick and mortar shop when I visited Pheonix years later. Tiny shop really compared to my imaginings 10 years earlier.

I only have one. But I remebered Grimtooth.
Imo most of the traps were to convoluted and deadly... and I never found Grimtooth funny at all. But the trap illustrations were fun, though.

It is indeed cool that Bruce got a trap published...although I must admit I'm a tad disturbed by the telltale stain on the letter.
Bring the noise.
Cheers..............

By a bizarre tiwst of fate, it was Tom Baker, playing the part of The Doctor that was blown limb from limb by Sir Bruce's trap.

Bruce Flying Buffalo is an old play by mail computer game company that branched out into RPGs at one time. Ken St. Andre (author of Tunnels and Trolls) used to run Diplomacy variants. That's how I met him. Michael Stackpole worked there when I was there. I got a credit for "accuracy and continuity" for Traps Too. http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showbook&bookid=2338Carl Eichelberger. Not that I did much. The Phoenix sci fi conventions at that time were something to behold. Steve Jackson was just getting started. Met Roger Zelazny and Fred Saberhagen. Good times. |

That's Tom Baker, guys, sheesh. With ME, for some of you who apparrently didn't catch that, either. I was about 13.
He was 6'3" and I was 4'11" at the time. He told me I needed to eat more porridge.

Woohoo, I played It's a Crime as well. Also, Heroic Fantasy and the Star Trek PBEM. But mostly I played StarWeb and a StarWeb-ripoff whose name escapes me at the moment.

Its a Crime was the best PBM for six weeks - and then some other gang would wipe you out entirely.
and yes - I paid for the extended reports. About 5 years ago, they tried to ressurrect the game and I got into it, but I don't think it lasted long.

My there's a lot on this thread to talk about, but I played It's a Crime over here in the UK (it was run, and still is, by KJC Games). I got way into the 'end game' where you become a mob boss and then was destroyed by what appeared to be a coalition of 15 other players.
Fuck.
Also, the Tom Baker love is really cool, even if it comes from Bruce (Love Ya Brucie !).
However, I have to point out to Mr Woodcock that the trap would NOT work on Mr Baker, since he would pick the lock with his sonic screwdriver.
You fools.
