I don't know about anyone else, but I absolutely loved OSC's "short," 50-page story _Feed the Baby of Love_. It's just a classic! Anyway, I was wondering if there's anyway I could get a copy of the rules and set up of the titular game. It's just too awesome to pass up on and I'm going insane to play it.

Eveidently it's based on a real game someone made up (I don't have the story in front of me though) but I can't find anything on Google. Maybe I'm not searching correctly.

I loved it too! I'm curious if you read it in print, since you said it was 50 pages. I heard it on audio and I wasn't aware that it was in a book. If so, what book is it in?

This is one of my favorite OSC stories, and I also have a burning desire to play the game.

So I asked about it back in November.

Unortunately, it seems that unless you are cool enough to have OSC or the game creator as a personal friend, you're out of luck. [Grumble] [Wall Bash]

Also, you can read it in Maps in a Mirror, IIRC.

The game is a real game -- made by the brilliant game designer Greg Johnson (any ToeJam and Earl fans out there?) But there are only two handmade copies in existence that I know about -- Greg has one and we have the other. Sorry about that [Smile]
