Just curious of anyone's ever had it in a game where the original printing of AD&D actually was a tome filled with working magic and rituals for the summoning of demons? I was left wondering about it after reading the Spinnerette webcomic where it actually was a tome of eldrich lore and resulted in a presidential order from Carter to have all copies destroyed (naturally a plot point revolved around a villain acquiring a surviving copy).
