YMMV / Grimtooth's Traps

• Harsher in Hindsight: When "Traps Fore" came out, Flying Buffalo thought it would be funny to pretend they hadn't skipped a number, but that a fictitious "Traps Three" had been confiscated in a government raid. Four years later, the US Secret Service raided Steve Jackson Games and confiscated everything connected to the then-upcoming GURPS Cyberpunk. The next reprint of "Traps Fore" included a special note from publisher Rick Loomis:
  The above was an amusing joke when we wrote it back in 1986. However, with the invasion of the Steve Jackson Games offices by the Secret Service this year, along with the confiscation of all copies of their planned GURPS Cyberpunk game book (under the claim that it was a 'handbook for computer crime'), suddenly the joke is less funny. It was just a joke. Honest. There was no third book of traps.
• Retroactive Recognition: Some of the authors who contributed traps, including Michael Stackpole in the first (dated 1981), later went on to bigger things.
