Printing Information
From James Mishler:
"Back in 2001 to 2002, I ran a 3E Dungeons & Dragons campaign set in the
Wilderlands of High Fantasy. This was before Necromancer Games and
Bob got together; this was essentially before anything new had been
done, save for the Blue Revised Edition of the City State Bob released
at Gen Con in '99.
Well, as I wanted to work with Bob on the Wilderlands but hadn't really
the time to do anything major, rather than dive into true
self-publishing I got permission from him to publish a fanzine of sorts
for our campaign. As the campaign was set in and around Byrny, I
decided that the fanzine would take the form of an in-campaign
newspaper, the Byrny Royal Herald.
The first an only volume of that fanzine was published late in 2001.
IIRC, 30 were printed (at Staples), eight were given to the then-regular
members of the group, I kept eight (Ed: sold six of these in 2009), and
the remainder were left to be sold (or given to later, new members of
the group) at Merlin's Keep, the store where we played. What
happened to the 14 at Merlin's Keep, I've no idea; they shut down some
years ago, and I don't recall them ever mentioning that they had sold
any. All the players in the group were between the ages of 8-15,
so the likelihood that any of those copies survive is slim."
