According to Mobygames.com Edward R.G. Mortimer had Writing/Dialogue/Story credit on a Sierra On-Line game called Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura in 2001.

If you contact Sierra they might be able to forward a message plus they have forums on their North America site (but not the UK).

My bad ... old information that I looked up incorrectly. I found his correct e-mail address and asked him myself.

-----

From Ed Mortimer himself ...

Ah, the memories . . . I have a bad memory, and things come to me slowly, but at first blush I do remember working on this with Joe & Paul. I probably still have the papers in the bottom of a box somewhere. If I remember rightly, we got pretty far -- most of it written, maps & illustrations started, layout begun or almost begun . . . Has anyone heard from Joe or Paul? Maybe trying to connect with them will prove fruitful -- it would be their first publication, and that's always special. At the least, they'd remember more and quicker than I . . . but I'll continue to ponder . . . thanks for the memories!

Wow, things are NICE over here in JG land.

Anyway, maybe you guys have already discussed this, but I'm too damned lazy to search. Does anyone know if there were different printings of Booklet I? I've got 3 copies, and two of them have the same mustard colored cover, but the third is slightly lighter in color. I can't find any differences in content or format, though.

Thanks!

Yeah and we shall keep it that way :wink:

Bloody TSR bullies are not welcome!

Okay, obviously I'm going to ask for a scan/photo of the different one (say front and back. Second I'll say there is at least 2 printings for Booklet I (see here: Booklet I ) but doubt it is that lighter

So I'm thinking fading, but need pic.

Now back to Happy Happy, Joy Joy

Thanks, Shane. Geez, it even SMELLS nice in here!

That other place is all, like, man-ass and stuff.

Anyway, the three I have are all 2nd prints, and I'll gladly post scans of them all. It might take a few days, though. Doesn't seem like fading. Seems like the kind of difference you see in, for example, the Tegel Manor booklets. Just a slight variation in the shade of the cover.

Actually going through scans/pics I have and some info, it seems there is various shading differences for these booklets. What if anything that means I don't know, but I'll try and remember to see if my booklet I's have any shade differences and if so if that corresponds to the CSIOs. (not to mention any other textual differences or blemishes, since Booklet M has 2 different 'prints' as it were)

No rush on the scans, as I'm not sure when I'll be checking mine

Google turns up nothing, but wondering if this exists or has been lost as other things for Judges Guild has been.

Was it ever determined whether this existed?

The Golden Sands of Death did not make it to press before Judges Guild went under and as such was never released. Last I heard from Ed Mortimer the manuscript might still exist, but it would require some effort for him to dig through everything he has packed away to see if he still has his copy. He did indicate that Joseph Weingaad, and Paul W. Vinton might have more insight into the module provided someone knows how to contact them as he has lost touch with them over the years.

My auction doesn't have the sheet. FWIW, I actually recall those things now that I've seen a picture of them. I remember getting them with a ready ref sheets or an orange Tegel -- bought together from a store back in 1977 or so. IIRC, they were just inserted in the middle of the ref sheets I bought.

Edit: My copy is long since lost but I'm fairly sure that Installment M did not ship with the ship to subscribers. My M is from Mike Richter's auction back in 98 or so and he was insanely good about keeping stuff together.

Monstrous Statistics Compendium

That came with the installment M.
It was Installment K and L that had the sheets missing or added when initially shipped.

Color me dubious. For the reasons noted in my edited comment above.

Unconvincing to say the least. As noted I got my M from a very careful collector (alsot get orange 2nd print Tegel from him -- was complete with cover sheet and one-sided checklist). I note that Killjoy had similiar experience -- Installment M's from multiple sources and no sheets.

Furthermore, while I have owned JG-35 before (as noted I came along with either a Tegel or RR I bought in 1977). I have never owned an Installment M until I bought Mike Richter's copy in 1998/9 (whenever that auction was on r.g.b.m). So there is no way that JG-35 was exclusive to Installment M.

I don't doubt that it is possible that some installment M's had the JG-35 sheet (maybe backorders) but it seems highly doubtful that original subscribers got it with their Installment M based on that thread.

well i have 4 instalment Ms here that i havent sold you because of this issue.

i have bought them from all manner of sources, one a collector too and not one had the sheet in....just seems a little coincidental to me and WOULD fit with whats been said above...

anyway i am always guided by the general consensus so....
