Can someone who owns Gamplay #1 or #2 tell me who is the author of the following?

Gameplay #1: "Ethics in Gaming"

Hi Zhowar -

Serpent Keep was done by Clyde Heaton.

Thanks!

I asked an ebay seller about the Ethics article and learned it was by:
Jeff Swycaffer.

Looks like each of them also had several articles in Dragon:

My real interest is in finding a supposed J. Eric Holmes article in Gameplay. If you happen to notice it, let me know. (The above two were just stabs in the dark)

I'm going to bump an old thread on Gameplay magazine contents I started:

Should fetch a nice price.

The seller also has an Arduin Trilogy box set, Riddle of the Ring, Lord of the Rings painting guide from Heritage Models, and a bunch of MERP stuff.

So what happens if I try to clean it off? Would that be similar to Aladdin cleaning off his lamp?

Well not sure if you meant 'Plaag', because if so that was not me, as I've never seen this item except for just now.

I should still have one or two somewhere. I distinctly recall a fingerprint, and weird coloring.

I think I have only seen 1 copy that was in really nice shape and the rest have had similar marks. In any case, they do seem to wear easily.

And to post another silly item. I just got notified of this in one of my many RPG searches. I didn't know they had Ebay in Romania. I'm tempted to buy it just to see if it arrives!
