I ran across something today that I've had boxed up in storage for quite a while - a copy of After the Bomb (the complete role-playing game version). Inside the front cover on page 3, I found something I never noticed at all until now. There seem to be signatures there from Kevin Siembieba, Alex Marciniszyn, Wayne Smith, and Julius Rosenstein. They appear to be actually inked into the paper with pens, and not just copied on the page through the printing process...it looks like the ink for each sig is from different pens, and some show through the back side of the page (especially so Kevin's sig).
I'm curious as to whether this is really a signed copy of the book (I don't recall ordering any special edition of it and the sticker price I paid was 22.95), or if somehow that was just something that came through in printing the book and all of them are like that.
In any case, it was a pretty cool discovery, and I'm putting the book up and will not be using it in play now. And thanks to the guys that signed the book if that is the case!

Re: Signed copy of After the Bomb???
The books were never printed with signatures.
Likely the book was signed as a part of a Christmas Grab Bag.

Re: Signed copy of After the Bomb???

Yup, my AtB is signed too from a grab bag.
My PFRPG2 is probably the coolest, with a written message and dragon's head from the big man himself ^_^
