You did do that; and based on my recollections, you probably did come up with ten I don't have. I'd have to see the cover of the Adventures in Fantasy to be sure, but if it's the one I Googled, that's not one I've owned. :)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't have any of those. (Might have played one, but can't recall.

I was thinking about one of two that I have, and I was sure that High Fantasy was in their names, but one is so old that I'm probably having a senior moment, and one I was just plain wrong.

The oldest is actually published as a paperback, rather than the way rules were usually published back then.

It was a pretty standard D&D clone in a medieval setting, including a Christian religion. I probably still have it, floating around somewhere, but which box or storage area it's in is a good question.

The other I was thinking of is called Fantasy Imperium - I got that one solely because an artist I knew was one of their main contributors.

Some heavy duty research (and assistance from another forum) has revealed the one I was thinking of is 'Fantasy Wargaming'.

One heck of a fun, and informative, intro thread! :D
--Ron--
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Ah yes, I actually have that one (acquired more recently, so not disposed in some reduction back in the 80s...). That's reasonably obscure, but probably due to being a hard cover, I think it shows up more often in used book stores.
