Apocrypha II CD

Has anyone got it yet?

I am stoked about the GW material, the various magazine articles, and the Third Imperium fanzine.

Thanks for the link Ewan!

Odd that something so blatantly available for free would be packaged on the CD. Ah well, it didn't stop me from ordering.

You forget the raw convince of having it right there on your shelf where you can take it down and pop it in a drive to access without having to worry about Internet Connection or one day it disappearing in to some forgotten corner of the web where a hordes Super Search Bots under the command of Scores of the most L33T Google-Fu Masters could never find it.

I know this pain after I've lost gigs of Data (when Megs where still a common thing) because one of the End Users got my PC Infected so bad the Nerds at the Computer store had to Nuke it Twice before giving up and selling me a new Drive or Crashed my Drive.

Great that the pdf link finally works on FFE! I've been anxious to get an oggle.

Looking over the list...

Great to have all the JG stuff on one disk. I've got seven of them, but am missing the rest.

Happy to see the Paranoia Press material. I've been thinking about buying them at Drivethru, but I guess I'll wait a bit.

And, as mentioned above, its odd to put 3E (already publicly-available material) on this disk.

The Different Worlds and Dungeoneer articles I am not familiar with.

I've got the Dragon Mag Archives, so, chances are, I've already read those articles.

Cardboard Heroes??? Is this an old-school product, or something relatively new? Not familiar with them.

In all, it looks like a worthwhile purchase...as long as the scans are legible and there are no missing pages or other issues.

Cardboard Heroes was (iirc) a GURPS product. Pretty cool. Sheets of two face fold over (again iirc) coloured cardstock figures. 25mm adventurers, military, crew, civilians (again all from foggy recesses of my mind so I'm not certain of the details). Nice thing about them being pdf if well scanned, rescalable

These Cardboard Heroes sets were specifically for Traveller before Gurps had any Traveller products. I want to say they were released in the mid eighties. I've got all three sets, and I remember the next set advertised was Vargr... which I could not wait for! ...and it was never released. But they are 15mm unlike their other Cardboard Heroes sets which are 25mm. Though, I suppose you could just scan them and print on cardstock to whatever scale you wanted.

Here are some product shots:
