Some tid bits after perusing Journals I/J/K:

From I (Oct 1976)

"As astutely pointed out by the halycon heroes of the north (TSR) out artist-scribe took considerable artistic license in depicting the weapons on our Tac Cards. Rest assured history scholars, a new deck (with many unusual weapons) is being designed accurately... else our pen pusher will run the expectorate gauntlet with his drafting table tied to his ears!"



Items 1-8 are in the subscription with Journal I (this was not called an installment, but it has helped in that product lists sort of make sense how they were early on.) Also items 1-8 are only sold seperately (at the time mind you) to Guildmembers.



From J (Dec 1976-Jan 1977)

Labeled the 1st Installment

Thunderhold done

#10 ready to mail by the end of the month (copyright 1976 but people must have only got these in Jan 77 due to as they have stated slow mail bulk rate.)

item 9 and 10 must be purchased seperately..not part of the subscription (i.e. items 1-8/journal I plus 5 bi-monthly installments)

items 11-13 are to be sold in stores (so actually these are 1977 releases)

RR charts package (item 14) and Tac cards due to copyright agreement will be available seperately (so to be sold in stores in 1977..with Tac card info from I..thsis the new deck/2nd print I presume)



"Tac Cards will be available for $3.95 which is up from old price, but since we will now start paying postage, it went down 5¢ net! The cards may cost a mint to print (&collate- Mrs. Makistakator has sorted almost 100,000 cards so far!) and are priced a bit over a deck of playing cards- but the guys that play my game love'em!" (741 sets at least..but this include 1st prints or only the to be sold 2nd sets the paragraph is talking about.)



"Ready Ref Package several copies of each of our RR sheets printed so far plus the up coming ones on 'Alignments & Record Keeping', 'Building Costs' and the Wizards' Guide. This one's price will be announced later." (So Wizards guide was determined and/or layout at the time of this, but the other two were working titles I presume - and of course never materialized since ARK became Character Checklist, and BC became Construction costs and placed at the back of Wizards Guide - so WG was not printed by this time)



From K (Feb/Mar 1977)

Judges Guild moved to new place/address

RR package contains all sheets published so far plus CC to be included in next installment (Phantasmal Forces/Encounters sheet not released with other installments and I can only see its predassesor so far in the earliest Judges Guild Shield item 28..so this help to determine that #14 was not released till Installment L April/May 1977)



judgesguild.net Again so that Journal I and J can be looked over, and yeah most I pointed out maybe already known but I've brought it forward to maybe get a better understanding for this time table I've worked on:

#1 released Gen Con IX August 1976

#2-8 (and Journal I) October 1976

#9 November 1976

#15-17 Decemebr 1976

#10-13 Jan/Feb 1977

#18-20 Feb/Mar 1977 (Wizards Guide like stated was printed, but did not see Guildmembers hands till Installment L)



#14 1977, but is it April/May after all RR sheets released thru L and after Judges Shield, but before Installment M June/July 1977 or soem other date?

ShaneG.

IIRC, the two JG14 Ready Refs I had weren't shrinkwrapped. I believe they were originally supplied in a brown mailing envelope.

I thought Shane meant this one; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 8711763146 ?
"This is a brand new set of Judges Guild JG14 Ready Ref Sheets, in near mint condition (they have been removed from their shrinkwrap)."

shane.

Good idea, Shane! Thanks in advance

Alan...how are you ever going to bring yourself to sell off your Tegels and Dark Towers?

I really wanted that Tegel (you took to long on deciding to sell any of yours..so.. ) and well I wanted the CC and cover sheet as well.

I may purchase a dark tower or two if you sell any.

Traveller Log Book

have started to list my items in line with the prints you have on the subweb, and this one got me confused.

when i look in the book itself, it says, reprinted 1st edition 4th printing 1981......

what do you make of that?

Al

What is the list at the back? (I actually need to update that page - the 1st and 2nd should be bumped to 2nd and 3rd)
The lists I have on those are Treasure Vault 220, and More Fine Products 600 (list goes to 460, but it includes the initial Pegasus in the magazine section on that list)
