I remember this game. Does anybody know if it is still available anywhere? I would love to buy it again.

I had never seen this item before (up until a couple months ago when I bought it) and only heard about this company earlier this year. I contacted the owner of Classical Fantasie and bought all of their remaining stock which only included 1 copy of this book and single copies of most of the others as well.

The print runs for each of these books was probably very limited so I'm guessing it will be difficult to find. I did a brief search of the usual places I look and couldn't find any of the Classical Fantasie items.

Where are the usual locations you would search for this?

I saw this when it was demo'd at a DnD convention in Los Angeles in 1991 and have not ever heard of it again. I loved it then, but I have long since lost the copy I bought in 1991.

You would not be willing to sell this book would you?

My usual searches are google, abebooks, amazon, other resellers such as Noble Knight. Basically, I try and look in all the nooks and crannies of the internet.

The one thing you might try is to contact some of the California gaming stores that have been around for a while and see if they have any in old stock. I don't think most gaming stores are online and I'm sure a lot of them have treasures to be found.

At the moment, I am interested in selling my copy - I haven't really had much of a chance to read it through yet.

Bad luck for me. Thanks for the conversation and the suggestions. I was just excited to see this online somewhere. I loved this so much I registered traprunner.com. It is just an arcade site, but the name was sparked by this game.

I will keep my eye out and send you an email if I find another copy or decide to sell mine.

It seems the J. E. Draft, the artist for this game is doing comics as well. I just came across http://www.barbarianprincess.com.

If anybody sees a copy of TrapRunner for sale, please let me know.

I can afford a reasonable finders fee.
