“Win $10,000” in 1981

Work at the office continues on The Fantasy Trip RPG, and that means I continue to sort through old magazines, newspaper articles, and books about the roleplaying game industry in search of material about the game. I’m focused on the parts of the game we’re bringing back into print, yes, but I thought it may be a bit fun to share this 1981 advertisement (from Different Worlds #15) for the Treasure of Unicorn Gold adventure that was also a scavenger hunt. You see, Metagaming promised a prize to anyone who could solve the puzzle . . . a prize that went unclaimed.

See the game’s Wikipedia page for more info.
