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.
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!

killjoy32 wrote:what do ya'll think of them thoughts. i wonder from product 0 to say product 15, how much time had passed. could any of this have been planned pre 1976. but not actually printed/released until after then?

killjoy32 wrote:then came product 3, which was David's scanned book, which i sent him a few weeks back. this gives you detailed encounter tables and beefs out information for the city state itself. quite essential at that time really imo.
killjoy32 wrote:the actual guide to the city state wasnt until product 10, which is assuming a lot of legwork/planning had to be put in before they released this. i havent got that actual book, so if anyone has (invincible?), whats the (c) date on that one?
killjoy32 wrote:like that CSIO books tho, great cover!! nice condition too.** goes off to make a note of it for want list **
killjoy32 wrote:so there are quite a few items then that come from 1976, so surely some/all of these were around at the Gencon 76, and a few quite possibly 75 (specially the first ones....)....
