…Hitler’s Hillbillies, a popular country band of the 1930s and 40s, on Earth 3-W. On that Earth, Adolph Hitler’s parents came to the US as immigrants three years before his birth and settled in Kentucky. Young Adolph grew up loving folk music and bluegrass and became quite an accomplished banjo player and singer. He formed his first band in 1917 and they became popular on a regional level.
By the mid 20s, the band was touring widely and had put out a few records that did well. Adolph expanded the band and renamed them “Hitler’s Hillbilllies”. Soon, they were touring nationally and performing regularly on the Grand Old Opry.
Although the band continued to tour and record into the late 50s, Adolph spent more time with the record label he founded, A Hit Records. The band performed their last show, on the Opry, on July 4th, 1958.

…G-5: Castle Temptation, an infamous, illegal and universally banned adventure module for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. It was sold at a few conventions in 1981.
The only product produced by Pork Store Games, it was created as an extension of the popular “G” series of 4 linked modules. The big difference is that G-5 was chock full of graphic and kinky sex, gory violence and trademark/copyright infringements. When news of it hit the media, the shit hit the fan.
According to an anonymous letter sent out to about 50 well known gamers and a few news outlets, only 1,000 copies were ever printed and only 250 were actually sold, usually in an alley near a game con by masked individuals.
Today, copies of G-5 can only be sold secretly, but have fetched prices as high as $10,000.00. However, last month, a post on many gaming sites and social media said that the remaining 750 copies of G-5 would be sold at game conventions in North America and Europe soon. The price will be $200.00 per copy, cash only.
