Shrine of the Kuo-Toa

No, wait, Kuo-Toa was AD&D....


Not a Ching-Kuo, drat, that's the other one....


I found a Tsu-Chang AT-3 today at my LHS; reasonable price and I suspected that someone here might want one.

First responder here with $$$ and a serious interest gets it, please no emails on the heels of the big virus outbreak....
I only paid USD$6.50 for it, so that plus postage, and it's yours.

Cheers!

I still have my original edition of D&D somewhere around here, bought it in 1974 IIRC...

Not quite that old, but I still have a set of Traveller "little black books" uo in the attic. Alas the box is long gone...

Tony,

Postage to Florida is going to be about $4 or so.  If we round up, that's $12.  How do you want it?

Jason, email sent your way.

Proditor, don't feel too bad, I knew the name of the module from memory - didn't even have to look it up.
How sad/geeky is that???

Weaver, I'd be curious if you're willing to part with those Traveller books...
My dad bought me the "Kinunir" adventure when I was a kid, and I didn't even know the game at the time.
That led me down a long dark path to buying such big-ticket items as the Azhanti High Lightning, Snapshot, and lots of Martian Metals minis.  (Tell me if those names don't ring some bells...?)

That doesn't help as the first time I saw this post, it was at work where the pictures were all blocked, and I also had it in memory. 

Which reminds me, I have to go paint an Owlbear for next weekend's game...

AD+D. Oog, there's a lot of strange memories.
Lessee, my first character was a dwarf fighter, and my longest lasting character was a Half-Elf Ranger-Cleric.

Those two planes look like Chinese knockoffs of an F-16 and a Hawk.

Sort of.  I did some research on ROC aviation over the weekend.  The AT-3 was  codeveloped with Northrop in the early 80s to replace their ancient T-33s.  It has twin non-afterburning turbofan engines and a stores capacity of up to 12,000 pounds, which makes it a decent attack aircraft with rockets or iron bombs.  There are wingtip rails for either Sidewinders or the local TC-1 SkySword missiles.

The Ching Kuo was developed specifically because Congress blocked the sale of F-16s to the ROC.  The US has traditionally supplied armaments to Taiwan, and was set to supply them with either F-16As or F-20 Tigersharks.  In fact the ROC was one of the governments the F-20 was specifically targeted towards, but during the middle 80s there was a peace initiative with the People's Republic, and selling modern fighters to a hostile power off their coast was suddenly not cool.  So AIDC had to start over from scratch, and the first units didn't roll out till 1999.
