I was sent these two postcards recently:
OMG, those are gamebook covers?! Let’s see what’s on the back:
HOLY MOSES! Those are nothing less than the actual signatures of the creators of FF gamebooks, Ian Livingston and Steve Jackson! These are holy grails to a gamebook collector such as myself 🙂
So where did they come from? Well some months ago on twitter the company Tin Man Games (who makes app versions of gamebooks) started posting pictures of their collection. I jokingly suggested it needed organization, and this led to a conversation between me and them which led to them learning about my collection, being amazed by my collection, and saying they wanted to ‘send me something small for my collection’. Little did I know the magnitude of this ‘small’ thing they wanted to send me!
Here the autographs are with the books from pictures on the cards:
I think I have a fourth imprint of House Of Hell as well. But I didn’t want to show off 😉
