Hello,

I've just gone through a box of loose books and maps and found the following:

MAP, CITY STATE OF THE INVINCIBLE OVERLORD, FORTRESS RHAMSANDORN
MAP, ELPHAND LANDS CAMPAIGN MAP NINE, JUDGES MAP
MAP, SILVER SKEIN ISLES CAMPAIGN MAP SEVENTEEN
MAP, THE FIRST FANTASY CAMPAIGN MAP, LANDS ABOUT BLACKMOOR CASTLE

Anyone know off-hand if these map are part of the First Fantasy Campaign, some other product, or were they were sold separately?

Still no scan of #30? :?
Tegel Manor and Area Map
Were these never distributed with
Tegel Manor Playing Aid

Well, I've nothing to prove it wasn't purchased later, but I have a #30 with the "J" upwards run (the one with the May 9th '77 "L" mailer).

The maps I have with that run are:
#23 (closer-to-yellow pebble-dash)
#24 (light brown pebble-dash (more highly textured), map of manor folded outwards)
#30 (closer-to-yellow pebble-dash, map of surrounding area folded outwards)

Scanning #30 would be pointless given the area map is identical to #24 (as currently illustrated ;))

Noticed we're missing JG#19 on Campaign Map One , too.
(Surely that scan of #18 isn't the right color, either?)

*sends 018+019, anyhow* (these copies are a somewhat darker, reddish brown than #24, above)

More maps...

Barbarian Altanis/Glow Worm Steppes Map (Barbarian Altanis / Glow Worm) (N), and
Tarantis/Valon Map (Tarantis / Valon Map) (O)

both state "2 maps"; would read better as "2 double-sided maps", no?
(i.e. Judges and Players versions)


- is that red pen on Campaign Map 3 Judge ? ;)

Any chance of creating a blank space holder for the full "J" installment
Thunderhold Installment within the list of items Index by Code on "usability" grounds?

I was confused trying to figure out whether I had anything else extra there, since the first obvious link was to Booklet J and Ready Ref Chart J-5 and Thunderhold/Sunstone Cavern Map also initially confused since that page's header states "Map" not "Maps"

Don't think there's any more stuff here (beyond that extra "J-start" sheet), but I could supply better scans, anyhow.

Maps with "J" installment =
Page Not Found (single sided), plus
Thunderhold Map Judge &
Sunstone Caverns Map (double sided)

aside: Might be easier to read on Thunderhold/Sunstone Cavern Map if the single-sided player map was moved down one...

thx :)

Am I missing where the "K" map (Huberic) ended up on the listing?

(This is the one I previously didn't have, since I failed to win that installment in Keith's auctions; went to ~$17(?) whereas "M" was won for ~$8 ).

*sends scan, just in case* (paper stock is the approx. the same as the "J" maps).

The review in the Campaign Magazine #88 (From the auction you mentioned to me from which the seller provided scans of the pages) states the Huberic map coming with the Installment K.

#47: 'Approved for use with Dungeon & Dragons'
#48: 'Created for Dungeons & Dragons'
#52: 'Created for & Approved for use with Dungeons & Dragons'

Dragon Magazine #11 (Dec 1977) states Judges Guild is 'Creaters of Play Aids approved for use with Dungeons & Dragons'

Anything before Aug/Sep 1977 (Journal N having first instance of #47) having something stating similiar? (Approved, Created, etc)

Judges Guild Pens

Wondering if anyone has one or seen one of these..here is the blurb from someone who had some:

'I grew up about an hour from Decatur, IL, which was the home of Judges Guild. My parents used to give me rides there and sit in the parking lot while I would shop in their store. For a while, they handed out "free" pens for any purchase over $20. (Not much now, but back then $20 meant a lot of lawns mowed! Back then, an OD&D boxed set was $10.)

The pen said "Wand of Fantasy Gaming -- +5 vs. Boring Campaigns", if I remember correctly. At one point years ago I had a handful of these pens, but sadly they are all long lost.'

Ok all you JG fans, just picked up "The Book of Treasure Maps" #113 - 1979.  Is it worth anything?

Thanks.

    As a big-time colletor's item...no.

    As an outstanding game supplement...hell yes.

    Check out the haunted manorhouse (avoiding a spoiler here  :wink: ).  It is an excellent adventure.

    It is almost certainly worth more than whatever you paid for it.  Did your copy come angle-chopped, with the cover chomped off to make the whole thing an accidental rhombus?

Thanks for the info.  I don't think the cover is askew, I'll have to check.

Love that "dorky" photo-real cover! Not too many modules like that...

I'll have to check it out.

I've always liked that cover.  Paul Jaquays is the tall guy in the armor.  What I really like is the two gamer girls, trying to find some sort of adventuring pose to strike.

I just bought/downloaded the Book of Treasure Maps #1 from Drivethrurpg.com. $2 - can't beat that, it's cheaper than shipping for most Ebay stuff. Plus, no clutter! The first two pages have a little bit of ugly wear on the copy they scanned, but the rest is fine and it's all certainly usuable, content-wise.

I like the look of it. Interior style/layout is reminiscent of Dark Tower (not suprising). Looked though it quickly, the content looks interesting.

I really like the Intellectual Flesh Golem who is obsessed with reading.

IF you want the information...as opposed to possession of the product...DrivethruRPG is the way to go.  I was just there, myself, contemplating All The Worlds Monsters II.
