killjoy32 wrote:right i have had a real good shifty of my two FFC copies. i am pretty sure one is a 1st print and the other, maybe a 3rd or 4th?so here are some notes i have made:1st print:cover print is a very dark red, has no index number and a large $7.98.(c) 1977, booty list goes up to #35 three monster stats compendium sheetspages are labelled 1-92, inside cover and content page not labelled. contents page covers pages 1-91cover page says "first fantasy campaign playing aid by Dave Arneson, Judges guild" thats all thats on the page - with a picture of course.Blackmoor the campaign starts on page 33rd / 4th print:cover print is a lighter red than the 1st, $7.98 appears in very small print next and to the right of "fantasy game system not included"pages are labelled 1-64(c) 1980 - appears at the bottom on the contents page - and contents cover pages 3-63.inside cover page has same picture as 1st, but says the following: To Colleen Wordem & family, addl notes by Richard Syder, Cover by Pixie Bledsaw, Illustrations, ken simpson & dave arneson, graphics, bob bledsaw and bill owenblackmoor the campaign starts on page 4booty list: "more fine products by Judges Guild - goes up to #380 Duck Pond"i notice the font used in the 3rd / 4th is a LOT smaller than the 1st font. most of the picures throughout the book are the same but some are either not there or there are distinguishable differences in the art. the actual scenario text is the same - well the majority of what i checked was anywayso there you go. there is a starter. if you want to know anything more - then lemme know and i will check.Al

Then of course I'd be curious if all the dungeoneer 13s line up, etc.. (they do not in numeral order ie 13, 14, 15, etc)ShaneG.
