This is a rare vintage copy of Monsters! Monsters! for the Tunnels & Trolls rolplaying game published in 1976 by Metagaming Concepts, a first edition book by Ken St Andre with editing by industry legend Steve Jackson. This is a rare and collectible product from the very early years of roleplaying games. 

This game came from a storage unit in Excelsior, MN. If the area and time frame rings familiar to you, these were the wargamers associated with Dave Arneson and his Blackmoor campaign as he was collaborating with Gary Gygax and the wargamers in Lake Geneva, WI to co-create Dungeons and Dragons. (If you've watched the "Secrets of Blackmoor" documentary on Amazon Prime, then you are familiar with this gaming community and history.) 


A guy bought the storage unit hoping for tools he could flip for profit and was angry he found what he called "weird stuff." But he reached out to me as a D&D collector and I was thrilled to find vintage war games associated with so much history. I won't share the name of Arneson's compatriot in order to respect his privacy, but this and the other 15 games I have posted have a wonderful history. 


You aren't buying this game because it has never been played or is "unpunched," those old school wargamers played the heck out of this game. It has a story. The wear is love. 


So, please, give this game a good home.

I try to find the best balance between speed, reliability, and cost effectiveness, but the reality is it costs money to magically move a physical product across the Earth. So, in most instances I will use First Class Mail. Heavier items will be shipped Priority. Or I’ll use Media if a TPB or a larger magazine.

Handling Time

QUICK SHIPPING!! I try hard to get stuff out the door quickly and into the hands of Ken, my friendly and trusted mailman. 


International Buyers

I do all business under the GSP. You can read more about it in the Terms & Agreements with eBay. Currently this is the safest, and most efficient way to do global shipping, despite the additional time and fees. 


Questions?

Feel free to message me. I will do my best to provide you with the best possible outcome. And I’m always happy to exchange dad jokes. 


All grading and/or views on condition are my opinion. I am not a professional grader, I’m just someone with 40+ years of experience with comics. 


Search up Nerds on Earth on the World Wide Web if you have a moment. The website has lots of great content on comics, D&D, GI Joe, hobby board gaming, and so much more. If you are a Nerd, you’ll enjoy it! 


You can search up the same on YouTube as well. I do frequent comic book “unboxing” videos and you can get a great look at some beautiful comic book covers. If you aren’t sure you’ve found the correct channel, I’m the Nerd with the orange beard.
