So guys, I found something the other day and the funny part is it's literally something I found years ago and has been just sitting on a shelf for years and I finally decided to clean that shelf the other day, founded it, decided to look it up and realized I might actually have something incredible.
Originally, I thought it was just some photocopies and maybe some graph paper inside a plastic comic bag. At best, it was some mail order module by a third party that was sold in Dragon magazine (I have found several of these over the years and they don't generally sell for very much), but when I actually read the title and saw what it was I was like "interesting" and then I looked it up and I was like "holy fuck".
So basically what it seems I have is the Wee Warriors RPG Dungeon Master Kit #1 - Palace of the Vampire Queen FIRST EDITION.
It also seems to be 100% complete, with the only thing missing being the most valuable part which is the folder it originally came with.
Now, of course, the question is: is it real. Because you could easily photocopy this stuff.
I am inclined to say yes, but I'd like your expert opinions. The main reason I say it seems real is four fold:
1. If it is photocopies, they did a FLAWLESS job
2. The double sided pages are double sided and the single sided pages single sided, so it's exactly correct in that regard
3. One of my pages is on yellow paper, just like the page from the original
4. Where I got this, hilariously, was from D&D at the public library years ago -- basically I used to play at a different library when I first started playing again and they were going to complete level the main library branch and rebuild it which meant storage issues. The librarian who ran the D&D and served as DM was donated a box full of old D&D stuff and since they had no where to store it he just let us take it up for free. I grabbed up some incredible stuff. It was all legit and original, so I can't imagine this being an exception.
Here's some photos (sorry for the quality, I rushed these):
