Make an offer? It will go on e-bay real soon otherwise.

What are the J-1 to J-4 maps on goldenrod?

I trust that you TJG collectors already know what the maps look like. Any questions, just ask.

Plaag wrote:Well regarding these items I won: the mailed Installment L does include the Reduced Judges Map (#30), the Wizards/Construction Ref sheet, plus a list of shops that were selling Judges Guild items (hopefully this weekend I shall have a chance to post that on the site).

Congrats, Shane. I told Mr. Huckerby he'd have to watch out for you!
The postmark date is the same as my mailer copy, btw.

List of shops sounds interesting: does that look like a regular item or just something that was sent to Tim, for obvious reasons?

(aside: I did offer #30 before, in the middle of a large post, but didn't hear back: presumed you had sourced one elsewhere).

*listens too*

From Bob (JudgesGuild.net forums) "Each time we published a title, we sent in a new copyright notice. Chuck Anshell eventually took over this responsibility and then Mike Reagan as Business Manager. We usually upgrated the cover and corrected any errors upon reprint. At first, I reprinted everytime we ran out of any component..."

Seems Bob rarely mentioned printings, but he does change covers and product lists.  The hard part though is what components lasted and which were changed. Tegel we see only the cover sheets, Character Checklist, then the booklet itself till the format changed, then again there still is a CC sheet except for the last printing.

ShaneG.

Still doesn't really explain the phenomenon.  Some of the changes are not very significant and could not be regarded as "upgrades."  Some seem to actually be downgrades.  The covers of Modron are a good example of this "downgrading."

Also, since the cost of a four color cover had to be the same no matter which colors were used, upgrading from less colorful to more colorful does not seem to make sense....since the cover could have been as colorful or "better" right from the start.
