Surprise Gygaxian bookmark!

I don’t use my Oriental Adventures book super-regularly, but I was very surprised on Saturday to rediscover that the bookmark I had in it was a New Infinities Productions business card from Gary (likely from when I wrote a few letters with Qs about Necropolis and other topics BITD), and that it was signed on the reverse!!

Gary signed a number of D&D items for me, starting with my DMG back at Origins in Baltimore in July of 1987, so this business card was not the first by any means, but it was quite the surprise to rediscover it =)

New Infinities Productions, Inc. (NIPI for short) was the short-lived publisher for the Cyborg Commando RPG, along with the rest of the Gord the Rogue novels set in Greyhawk.  If you're ever interested in pulling details from the Gord novels, Krista Siren's Gord's Greyhawk site is the best online resource!
