Folks,



I'm looking through my copy of Dave Arneson's "First Fantasy Campaign," and I noticed something interesting. The copyright statement on page 2 says (C) 1980, but Bob Bledsaw's Forward (sic.) on the following page is dated August 9, 1977.



I acquired First Fantasy Campaign at Gen Con in the mid-90s, and no one seemed to think it was anything close to a collector's item. My assumption at the time was that the merchant was selling off bunches of these because he had a trove of them.



I wonder if it's possible that First Fantasy Campaign had multiple printings. Does anyone know for sure?



Thanks,



Erik Mona

1st Printing: (1977) Cover print is a very dark red, has no index number and a large $7.98. Along with the words "first fantasy campaign playing aid by Dave Arneson, Judges Guild"



2nd Printing: (1979) 96 Pages with pages only numbered 1 to 92. Now has the price at the bottom of the cover. Title page states '2nd printing'.



3rd Printing: (1980) 64 pages. Price at the bottom of the cover is hard to read.

Does the difference in pages between the printings reflect a substantial difference in content? Or is it more of a font size/layout issue?

Thanks for the help, guys. I really appreciate it.

Erik, its more of a font/layout issue - the details themselves are pretty much the same. i did a comparison some time back but am too tired to find the thread on here
