TSR research is now lagging behind JG research on that score.Be careful with the spine, though; that looked like a nice copy...*g*/aside. I thought the Boot Hill font on the "Product List" in SR#3 (and elsewhere) was a neat promotional touch for the product.

Check out the stock list Ok, I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm not about to let that stop me. I have free time and books to analyze to death! I have a Greyhawk 2nd, and it looks almost like bclarkie's Boot Hill pic. Except:1. no ":Rules, Die-cut Counters, Board" text in 2nd War of Wizards line2. 2nd line of "Classic Warfare" section not indented3. "Milti-sided Dice Sets" (sic) italicized4. "Percentile Dice Sets" italicized5. "Watch for more..." line not centered, just indented.6. The address lines have PO Box 756, are in all-caps, and have TSR RulesI have no idea whether Boot Hill predated the 2nd GH or the other way around...the "corrected" Boot Hill page would make me think it came later, but the address seems to contradict this...

I haven't heard anyone complain (yet) that they don't actually have multiples. Though I never heard the end of the "reprint" CA saga...

"IntroductionBio One was created in 1974 to incorporate a degree of realism into a field of wargaming which was sorely lacking. Bio One provides a complete and accurate system of damage location and effects for any gunpowder period of warfare. Bio One will prove an interesting addition to any set of man-to-man rules which uses gun fire. Bio One may at first appear confusing, but by simply following the step-by-step procedure and trying a few sample applications, the system will be mastered in no time at all."Materials---Any set of man-to-man rules for a gunpowder period (i.e.; TSR's Boot Hill, etc)"The mention of 1974 puts the original publication there, but there is no indication TSR was the first publisher. The mention of Boot Hill seems to refer to the original publication since it's also listed on the back cover.Mike B.

Just let me know.Please, Allan. Thanks for the offer It was released (by TSR) before BioOne, tho'. (Unless they had a print run of half-a-dozen staff copies in 1974 with a GK logo )
