The data regarding the Dwarven Glory pamphlet is as follows:

1.  The Dwarven Glory (two-piece) was purchased, along with a Black Folder POTVQ sans yellow insert, from Aaron Leeder.  (I mention this only because of the concurrent interest in POTVQ).
2.  Measures 8.5 x 5.5 inches
3.  Inside cover says:
Dungeon Master's Kit #2 - The Dwarven Glory
A W E E W A R R I O R S  Production
Produced by Pete & Judy Kerestan
Art Work by Morno
Copyright 1976
4.  17 pages, including page 17 which is printed directly on the inside rear cover.  Some page numbers are typed while others are hand-written.
5.  Page 1 is titled Section "B", with a brief description following:
"This section once served as a meeting area for visitors.  Its taverns once echoed with joyful frivolities, but now its inhabitants drink with sombre mein."  A line divides this decription from the room descriptions which follow.
6.  There is no table of contents, just the following sections in this order:
Section B, rooms 1-9
Section C, rooms 1-15
Section H, rooms 1-12
Section E, rooms 1-6
Section F, 1-8
Section G, 1-6
Section D, 16-23

The sections match with the maps perfectly.

As for what this means, I don't know, but the map booklet does exist, and it came with the full-size Dwarven Glory, tucked in the back.  Someone needs to ask the people who produced it.  It may be a separate item put out by the company, or part of a deluxe issue of DG, or, painfully for several, how DG was issued by the company.  Outsiders like us are not well-equipped to make that determination.  I'll try to get an inside cover image up today.  The Wee Warrior printing odyssey continues.

Perhaps a WEEkend Conference is in our future . . .

Interesting. Which are typed and which are hand-written? Are they opposing pages?

Adam: thanks for the scans. Is the hex grid a slightly lighter shade of black or gray, as it appears to be in the scan?

Good question. The typed page numbers (the pages that have them) are all in the upper, right hand corner. There are no typed page numbers in the upper left-hand corners. It does look funky because of the way it's bound. Sometimes the page number appears on the side, sometimes next to the spine. The handwrtten numbers, when present, occur on the upper left-hand corner of the page.

The orientation of the type-written page numbers suggests that, originally, the author had conceived of either a booklet with single-sided pages, or a collection of unbound pages.

I gotcha now. Lettme look in the morning with some daylight.

On a personal note, the full-size DG looks like a much better production effort than the black folder POTVQ. There are no toner lines at all in the DG.

Maybe a hint in there at the timing of a switch in the printing process.

I came across something today, one those curious coincidences that probably doesn't mean anything, but is interesting nonetheless.  I've been reading through my 1st print OD&D stuff and guess what I saw in the maps in Blackmoor--black map on grey grid.  It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it does speak to a specific kind of printing process that was in use at the time.  Perhaps POTVQ (black folder) was printed with the same or similar process, thus providing a production window.  Any thoughts about that?  There must be other maps out there for other games that mimic the same effect--black map on a grey grid.

Great.  Could you post a pic/scan of one of the hand-numbered pages?

Here's the image of some handwritten page numbers.  As before, please disregard any shading or discoloration in the image.



I'm just guessing, but I bet the writer was a lefty.

Does anyone else around here own a full size DG for comparison? I hadn't even noticed how rare this item might actually be.

Congrats to tfm for a complete item!
