Weirdest RPG Owned

It would be easy to go with weird content and say Talislanta, or Unknown Armies, or Over the Edge.  Or any game that uses Tekumel as a setting (I have a few).  Instead, I’m going to tell you about a game I own that’s strange because no one else seems to have ever heard of it.

In 1984, Origins was in Dallas.  It was my first trip to a major convention and a great time.  The big release my friends and I were there for was Hero Games’ Justice, Inc.  We got our copies, played in an “official” session, and threw together pick-up games.  All in all, we were in a super-pulpy frame of mind.  Somewhere in all of that, a guy came up to me and said, “Hey, I overheard you like pulp games.  Here’s one my friends and I are working on.”  He handed me two slim photocopied and staple-bound booklets.  The first was called “Treasures of the Third Reich.”  The second was a supplement and right now, I can’t recall the name (both booklets are in storage).  It was a simple game of pulp adventure; nothing to write home about, honestly, in terms of writing or art.  The publisher was a game shop somewhere in Missouri, I think.  To my knowledge, I have the only copies in existence.  I’ve never encountered anyone else who’s even heard of it.
