Bill Owen 1974-1980 items from our pre & post Judges Guild campaign

After I bought D&D at GenCon August 1974, a new gamer friend, Bob Bledsaw, started a highly successful active D&D campaign through 1976 which was maintained sporadically until his death in 2008. His brother-in-law, Marc Summerlott, one of the campaign adventurers judged the first game in 1974 and has continued the campaign through 2011 (but I have been out of the country since then so it may be running currently so far as I know). Some of these items were redrawn for our Judges Guild subscription service that ran from 1976, although I left the partnership with Bob in 1978 so not sure which were used after that date... more of my updates at http://www.g-design.us/jg


These items are NOT held by the archive.
