City-State of the Invincible Overlord was a highly influential piece of work. When AEG hired me to co-write and co-develop The World’s Largest City setting book, John Zinser told me that it was a major influence on what he wanted us to come up with. I’m not quite sure that’s quite what we gave him, but I have long felt that, given a freer rein I could one-up it with a city-state setting of my own.

That's really cool, Douglas. Would love to see it!

Maybe time for you to revisit your idea via Kickstater?

It’s always on the to-do list, and it will definitely show up on Kickstarter.

Those color maps are absolutely gorgeous! I eyed these boxes in my local game store many times, but never pulled the trigger (I was especially drawn to that triple dragon head logo). I was definitely a TSR purist as a kid :)

Right on, David. I picked this box up from a discount bin in the early '90s and thought it was a knock-off D&D product. I didn't know that it was its own thing and deserved some respect!

I loved the wide open supplements and various games from the 80s, Judges Guild and Mayfair were amongst my favorites.

I remember seeing way more Mayfair than Judges Guild when I started to take the scene seriously. Now I really like them both.
