Addendum: he received a few letters from Tramp, in addition to receiving the Wormy button for investing $10 in the anthology. Tramp couldn't get it together and sent his customers the following letter to either stay invested or drop out.
Yeah, I saved up and sent in my money when it was first announced. I sure wish it had been produced. I missed out on Phineas Fingers. Didn't want to miss out on this. So sad.....
I've been wondering lately would it be possible to get a Kickstarter going on a provisonal basis? To try to get DTs attention as to demand and that there could be substantial amounts of money for him. I seriously think 100000$ could be raised within a week.
Sadly, no it wasn't. Back in the day I too ponied up some cash (I think it was $35) to see this published. I sadly got my money back and the aforementioned button....It's a shame really, his later pages were drop-dead gorgeous.

I got the refund on this as well, although I don't recall receiving a button :(
This and the Skip Williams "Shadowland" adventure were my two most disappointing cancelled products from BITD (as opposed to never-happened products, like Castle Greyhawk).
It's too bad that Tramp is so anti-gaming and reclusive. I had this way back when and got my refund and the aforementioned button (which I wish I still had). Loved Wormy. I know a Kickstarter for this might easily rival OotS success if the word got out (and with the Internet you know it would).
I also got my money back, and I still have the button! --> http://bit.ly/Jz11U9 Neither of which is adequate compensation for not having the Wormy anthology.
No, sadly. I knew a guy who sent a SASE to Tramp for more info, but all he got was a Wormy button and notice that the anthology was cancelled.
ReplyDeleteA pity the Wormy anthology never materialized.
ReplyDeleteI still have my "Fineous Fingers Treasury" though. :-)

Eventually, he returned everybody's money.
P.S. How did I post under two different online IDs?
Tony Rowe you should have used the wayback machine... http://bit.ly/wormy-in-out
ReplyDeleteWell that's just... charming.
ReplyDeleteOne of the great "might have beens" of gaming history. :(

ReplyDeleteIf only he wasn't a recluse who hates being reminded of gaming these days. This would be an awesome Kickstarter.
ReplyDeleteI still have $100 sitting on the counter (according to Akrasia, we in Canada call that a "Borden") ready to pay for a Wormy collection.

ReplyDeleteBet that form letter alone is worth twelve bucks nowadays!
ReplyDeleteSteve: if you're interested, I think I have a spare FF collection, and would be happy to bring it down to NTX if you'll be there and want to buy it?

ReplyDeleteEntirely unfortunate. The picture of the wizard and demon breaking into the myriad spheres remains a favorite.
ReplyDeleteKickstarter or just put it up on lulu.com...
