Ars Mysteriorum Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 What does the little x/420 mean in everyone's signatures? I've been wondering and just can't figure it out.

NickMiddleton Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The "Advanced Readers Copy" (aka BRP Zero) PoD edition of the new BRP book that Chaosium originally did for final proof-reading / editing purposes and which (due to fan pressure) they also made available through their web site, was printed in a limited run of 420 (Jason Durall, the author, getting number 1...), the number being written inthe front of each book. Some one suggested those who had a copy sig which one they got, hence the x / 420 notation in many peopel's signatures...
