Default x/420?

What does the little x/420 mean in everyone's signatures?

I've been wondering and just can't figure it out.

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...

Cheers,

Nick Middleton

Of course, not everyone is buying the BRP Zero. Some of us are waiting for the real thing.

What about those of us who tout the virtue of Patience and yet privately have none?

Screw what I said, I want the book! I want it NOW!

NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW!!!!!

There. I think I just turned back into a 4 year old.
