I too have an encounter supplement fleshed out for both law enforcement characters and criminals with at least 25 random and a dozen set encounters. You could drop them on any map(grid)with any level character and generate a game.

You know, BankSide's material might also make a nice supplement for Rick's re-release of GB.

That is assuming, naturally, Rick wants to keep his new edition as close to the original as he can.

The original is good if your used to B/X or OD&D style rules set. Real Simple. But in the "expanded" section, beyond boxing rules and a couple additional combat modifiers, you need more depth.

GB was the only game I ever played with EGG, and at the time I didn't even know it was him running it at one of my first game conventions c. 1980 or so. So, it has a very fond place in my heart (and it's always been a very useful resource to use in conjunction with Call of Cthulhu since they're set in the same default era) =)

In 83-85 at NEOCON at Akron U., Tom Moldvay ran games and I didn't know who that was. We played his Basic rules and loved X1,X2,B4, Trouble Brewing, Mad Mesa and more and the Author lived in my Hometown and I didn't even know it. I bought an Avalon Hill game called OmegAkron. Kinda like gamma world in Akron Ohio 200 years in the future by the late Mr. Moldvay and thats when I realized he lived down the road.

Rick posted something important and I didn't want it to get lost in the middle of this thread, so I moved it to a new one called "Gangbusters News #2."
