Hi all Rohrig fans! I think I'm succumbing, too....;) But I would really like to get the original version, without the extra panties and loincloths (sp?). I read here that there has been a new issue put out without pants, very recently. The only listings I can find on Amazon etc have a publication date of 1995 (that would be the 'dressy' one) or 1999, the latter usually being special order. Still, I don't think that one is the uncensored one. Of course, I would love to get the original German version, but that one is out of print. Does anyone have the 'naked' version? If so, could you please let me know the ISBN number? Thanks!

Hi Hedera, I also have the 'censored' version lol but would love to see what the original Rohrig should look like. It's a nice deck to read with and the cards are so busy that the nudity seems to go by unoticed :)

But there are lots and lots of discussions featuring the pantless rohrig and the dangling gifts... ;) *LOL* If you go check some of the old threads you might find the info provided. ANYWAY, if Jeanette is around.. *hollers*

Hedera	10 Mar 2003
Yeah, I've already worked through all the old threads, but the information there wasn't precise enough. I want to be able to make sure I know which deck I'm getting. Dangling bits aren't really a problem for me - my favourite is the Cosmic Tribe..... If I can't get the original version, I might just get the pants one, but I would like to give it a try searching first.

Quote: Hi, Pollux! (...) As far as the ISBN for the "pantless" Rohrig goes, there is none. I'm sorry to report that the rumors that the German publisher was restoring the latest edition to the original images were incorrect. My information comes directly from the current German publisher's representative. I won't have time to get onto Aeclectic to make the post myself, but you are more than welcome to pass along the info on my behalf. You may quote this message, if you like. (...) Thanks for writing! Best, -- Jeannette Tarot Garden This is as close as I can get. Sorry for the ... "bad news" Hedera. :( Also, I suspect there is someone who possesses the deck on the boards, probably Catlin does as well, but I am not sure either. Hopefully they will be reading this thread soon! :)

After I posted on here yesterday, I decided to do a little web searching, I can usually find things with a little research - I am defeated lol - I must have searched through hundreds of threads, including German sites, regarding the Rohrig and none of them led me to the uncensored version. Oh well - thinking about it I didn't try Ebay lol :)

Hedera	11 Mar 2003
Thank you all for taking all the trouble searching, Emily, Pollux and Jeannette! I knew this would be the place to ask. I've been searching, too, but no luck. Tried Ebay, as well, but nothing (well, I did set the search engine to 'available to the Netherlands', too frustrating otherwise, so there might be one available for the US. I doubt it, though). There are one or two shops here that tend to have really old decks on the shelves, if i'm really, *really* lucky I might find an old German deck. Unlikely but who knows.... If not, I guess I'll have to make do with loincloths and my imagination...;) Thank you all again!
