Thick printers' metallic ink. It's a stock item. Often used with embossing, if the client will pay for it.

See my comments above. This is a notion that one of the TF people was floating the year after Phil passed away, with the idea that it would make the TF look more important in the eyes of gamers. Unfortunately, nobody out on the ground much knows who Dave and Gary were, much less who Phil was, so it's fallen kind of flat outside the blogosphere.
If I pretends to sword fight wif you I gets a whole nickel?So, starting very small and intimate, and growing over time to small and intimate. I has a plan, and I is following it...
I don't care if you respect me, just buy my fucking book.

So, the same kind of inks offered for wedding invitations etc?
My copy is definitely not as shiny as it used to be, it has almost more a bronze than a gold finish. But it is also textured, knobbled, less slick, like a tamiya acrylic metallic finish rather than a humbrol enamel metallic finish, if that makes any sense. My vague memory tells me that it was always textured like that and never had a smooth sheen, but my memory may be failing me
Yes, and I even has the sWords for dis, too!
(The 'w' is pronounced, in this kind of swashbuckling. Will anyone but the two of us remember this very obscure reference?)

Yep; that's the stuff. Yes, it was always textured on the Twin Cities editions; the TOME one has a shiny metallic, almost a foil imprint.
Ah ok thank you! Today I was looking at pictures of the TOME edition and I have to say it looks fantastic with that foil finish...i love it....just couldn't remember mine ever looking like that
You know, we could do this at Gary Con and get people to pay for watching two ancient geezers stagger around and wave boken and shinai at each other until they collapsed. We could offer betting on who fell over first, too. There's big money in this, I just know there is!
We could even have our own Combat of the Thirty, where the Arnesonians take on the Gygaxians! Last one standing is the one who created D&D! Settle the whole issue by a fair trial by combat! What could possibly go wrong?

Thank you, Uncle. It's something I'm probably not going to understand, ever, though I know it on a rational level.From AsenRG:
I understand that, Uncle. What one wonders is how much clout in real-world politics could be achieved by controlling gamer politics, given that it's usually more interested in areas which make more money...
It's all about prestige, status, and identity. People feel important because they have their picture taken with an important person, or claim that because they were the 'special friend' of somebody famous then they are 'special' and 'important' people.
I guess I had it beaten out of me.
I'm sure the Glorious General would confirm. In fact, I suspect my Tekumel might be less LGBTQ-friendly than the Professor's...since I've decdided to make some abilities inheritable, clans tend to want you to propagate - and elders get grumpy if you don't, which is an issue with some LGTQ peopleI agree, it's sad.
Yep. The LGBTQ+ aspect is particulaly depressing, as Tekumel is actually pretty LGBTQ+ friendly; the notion that Phil actively persecuted gay people in his campaign or because he was a devout Muslim is utter nonsense. Ask Gronan; he was there..
Well, crunch is a means to an end, with one of the most important ends being to impose the setting.You're welcome, Uncle! I can do the same for most games I've played, including presumably "heavy and crunchy" ones.
About the only games where I can't do the same, are from D&D3+ and its derivatives.
Thank you - I'm much more into setting then crunch, but I'll keep it in mind.
For all we know, they might have created that model to fit 10 standard storage bins...It's all good when it ends well, and this sounds like it ended well.
Yep; we paid about $500 less then what we had expected, and the van is back. Just in time; I took delivery of ten large storage bins - like the wooden ammunition chests Gronan and I used to tote around for the 'Akbar And Jeff Road Show' - and they fit the van like they were made for it.
Sounds great, Uncle! Please keep us updated!A whole bunch of stuff has really come together in the past couple of weeks, and I am really hyped about getting back into harness!
Sounds like a well thought-out plan to me!So, starting very small and intimate, and growing over time to small and intimate. I has a plan, and I is following it...
And people say you can't make money out of gaming, rightYou know, we could do this at Gary Con and get people to pay for watching two ancient geezers stagger around and wave boken and shinai at each other until they collapsed. We could offer betting on who fell over first, too. There's big money in this, I just know there is!?
If you want my sword on your side, you could have itWe could even have our own Combat of the Thirty, where the Arnesonians take on the Gygaxians! Last one standing is the one who created D&D! Settle the whole issue by a fair trial by combat! What could possibly go wrong?
(He's at it again, folks. Giddy at having the van back, and the prospect of new figures from Dark Fable has sent him over the edge.)!
(Well, assuming I make it to Gary Con. My Jedi Tricks aren't strong enough to fight from the other side of the ocean, I'm afraid!)
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky
I am quite literally laughing out loud at the idea of a Battle of the Thirty. "Drink your paint thinner, Beaumanor!"You know, we could do this at Gary Con and get people to pay for watching two ancient geezers stagger around and wave boken and shinai at each other until they collapsed. We could offer betting on who fell over first, too. There's big money in this, I just know there is!
