It would seem see so...
That is a lot of stuff!
Too bad I don't have the kind of money required to get any of that type of nostalgic stuff.
Although I have to admit, quite a lot of it, does look enticing.
He must of got a lot out of storage recently since I recall him saying that he didn't have some of that stuff available to check out on hand.

That "some dude" is Paul J. Stormberg, frequenter of Dragonsfoot, Acaeum and other forums. He has quite the reputation for acquiring rare gaming lots from quality folks. He was involved in a David C. Sutherland lot among others.
Just FYI...

Yeah, PJS already sold a grip of stuff for both David Sutherland and Steve Marsh and both lots made so much more than expected (by the sellers, if not by the fans) that it enticed a bunch of other old-time industry folks to start selling off their attic-collections through Paul as well. There's been a recent auction of Tim Jiardini's collection and now RJK, and there will probably be more to come.
It's a d**n shame that all of this stuff (manuscripts and drafts) will be scooped up by collectors with deep pockets and never seen again instead of made available to the fans in some form, but I can't begrudge these guys wanting to earn a little bit of money off their legacy (and Rob surely deserves it more than just about anybody).

Fortunately, Rob's not calling quits on gaming by any means!  He's pretty non-sentimental about old gaming stuff, so he's selling off some of it in order to relaunch Pied Piper done right: these auctions will hopefully insure that we see all of these materials and plenty more available as products in years to come! (Although he's not selling any of the El Raja Key levels, nor the Lost City of the Elders ). FWIW, even with selling as much as he is now, the auctions represent a small fraction of Rob's total manuscripts: Rob has over 5000 pages of Kalibruhn materials, and 500 pages of GH stuff. |

Great. I'd really love to see Kalibruhn in print finally. Go Rob!  |
