Do the Judges Guild Fantasy Catalogs, Judges Guild/White Wolf Catalogs, or Portly Pomp Catalog have item numbers?

Item numbers 26, 74, 79, 99, 120, 123, 126-139, 141-149, 151, 510, 950, 1050, 1060, 1080 ever get alloted to products?

Items: JG1500 Wilderlands CD-ROM: 18 maps of CS campaign, wilderness tables, etc. and JG1600 City State Collector's Edition ever get released or listed in a catalog?

From the Rood of Parth series JG1140 Demons of Dundurn (Part 1): Was there ever a part 2? If so what is it called and did it ever have a product number?

Was there ever a World Map Set?

What are Judges Guild Journal Installments?

Thats all I am wondering for now...

I know Rood of Parth was never released publicly.

Would this be a good format to list the products in (see below)?

Item Code:
Title:  (# printing)
Type: Accessory
System:
Author(s):
Date Published:
Format: #-page book, size in inches map, etc
(Description here)

Seems like a good format to me. If you standardise your cover scan size and ask for covers in jpeg format, I'm sure there's probably a full between the members of the board.

That was a nice 1st CSIO from Toymom. Nearly complete and in good condition. It took me a year to get my copy (David wouldn't sell), but it was worth the wait for the copy I ended up with.

Do you mean listing them on eBay?

And my thought on size would be either full or a quarter of that, example a module cover would be (8.5" x 11") or (4.25" x 5.5").
Do maps have to be only a protion shown or could a full scan though perhaps smaller then full size be allowed?

Technically, when you are saving images like photos, the best format is jpg. When you are saving images like graphic charts and other that have a uniform colour or many uniform ones, than it's better to use gif (like in harami2000's JG sheet shown below).
Please use pixels instead of inches for measurements, and remember that images have to be saved on 72 dpi for video screen resolution.

How well/badly does this color match anyone else's copy or scan?

Phps best to stick with 72dpi (barring the maps? ) regardless of actual resolution...
Only minimal cropping at the edges, too.

A little off subject, but while seeing the pic of Booklet I... you should know there are slight color differences between all of the Guidieline Booklets, so scans may be different just because of these varations/printings. We have multiples of all of the lettered booklets, and only a few of them color match exactly. Especially Booklet I, there are many shades of the orangey-brown.

What's funny is I came across a Booklet I a few years ago that is solid white with black lettering. It is also missing the "Copyright 1976 Judges Guild" text on the front page, the space is just blank. Other than that their identical. It's not a Xerox copy, it's definitely printed, and it came in a sealed JG mailer envelope P.O. marked in mid 76.

I don't have it in front of me... so I don't remember the exact post marked month, but (iirc) it's pre October, the date given on the Judges Guild Codex as to when it was mass mailed. And this was in the "1000 to 2200, range" according to the Afterglow website.

It's the only one I've ever seen, anyone else have or seen one of these?

My guess is that it may be a Pre-Judges-Guild-Journal-Mailer for early members. Because in the envelope there was only the Guideline Booklet I (White), and the CSotIO maps (the four maps are made with a different heavy-stock paper than the two other sets we have from envelopes P.O. marked October 76), and the envelope did not contain Journal # I. The two with the October 76 post mark has all three of the items normaly included in these mailers. The orangey-brown Initial Guideline Booklet I, The Maps, and the Journal # I, that states October 76 on the cover. My guess as to why the Judges Guild Codex puts that date as the release. Any thoughts are welcome, I've been puzzled about this for a while, and I've exhausted all my contacts about this one. No one seems to know a thing about it including Paul Jaquays, but he didn't start there until a year or so after they got started.

I'll post a few pics latter today.

That's real nice David. Could you do the same with the other pages?

am extremely jealous

The white Initial Guidelines Booklet I, and the four maps that make the CSotIO that I stated came from an envelope pre-dating October 76 was incorrect. That envelope is actually plain and void of any post-marks.

Thanks for checking, Mike.
That's better, in terms of attempting explanations, but yes definitely "further research required"...

First reaction on seeing a missing copyright date from an apparently deliberately demarcated box might be that it was a printer's proof copy or something of that ilk.
However, with that page Shane dug out (thanks!), there's certainly more history to fit into place/explain.

invincibleoverlord wrote:And now with the discovery that the Guideline Booklet and the Maps could have come from that same GenCon in 76 it kind of make sense to me now remembering a few other items I picked up from a seller that tie into the Con that year. I'd but a buck on it for sure.

'76 would fit better in the context of the above, but the page ( judgesguild.net ) is ambiguous as to whether would've been GenCon 8 (Aug '75) or 9 (Aug '76).

btw. That article says nothing about the "I" booklet (or "Guide" book, even) being released at the same time, simply that they sold some maps at (a) GenCon.

invincibleoverlord wrote:So two of what most would consider cool but So-So items in a collection (clean city-state maps and odd colored Guideline book I, and incomplete Bob Blake pre-pub) may have just become a few GenCon relics. Nice!

A bit of a leap of faith, but certainly one possible explanation.

Certainly wouldn't have labeled them "so-so", anyhow.
