22) Best second-hand purchase

I've bought a lot of games on the aftermarket, but my favorite by far is the Bullwinkle and Rocky Role-Playing Party Game (TSR, 1988).

It was decades ahead of its time. Many of its mechanics were re-invented during the Forge Era. It's a marvelous game, and still completely playable.

And it has hand puppets.

I found a "new, old stock" copy back in 2018 and bought it on the recommendation of @epidiah.

12) Old you still play.

This depends on definitions.

I play Old School Essentials, which is equivalent to the 1981 D&D Basic/Expert rules, but I don't think retro-clones count.

I really want to play the 1987 "Rocky & Bullwinkle Role-Playing Party Game" (TSR 1987), but I haven't actually done so yet. (And, yes, I have a copy!)

I'll go with Sorcerer by Ron Edwards (1999). Last played in 2020, but would happily do so again!

@madelancholy The Bullwinkle & Rocky RPG Party Game from TSR.

It's kind of amazing: It's basically a Forge-era story-game that was 20 years ahead of its time. Actually, it's three separate RPGs of varying complexity. Box includes spinners, cardboard stand-up characters, and plastic hand puppets.

Yes, puppets.

I picked up a shrink-wrapped "new, old stock" copy back in 2016 per the recommendation of @epidiah but I've never yet played it.

I was hoping for a more entertaining answer, but Galactica isn't wrong here -- J. Moose has no scientific contributions. None. (Note how the "Generate More" button is even grayed out.)
