Sunday 4 January 1970

Second Sunday after Christmas 4th day - 361 days to come

Wrote the new rules for TOTALLY--. BB typed it and tried the solitaire version, thinking it was too easy. It wasn't. Put the diagram on the last page. Dana covered the box and made a label.

Wrote most of my column for S & T, reviews of VECTOR and QUADS, and started on LENSMAN. Gave the addresses of the 2 GAME OF THE MONTH clubs.

(cont. from 1/7) [1/7]

Rcd. letter from:-
James Cochrane who bought AGOG in England. He sent me war-game ideas which he offered to Avalon Hill, without answer. He says I can use them freely. One about "subversion" could be an interesting GAME idea.

Rcd. another letter from William Mikulas, this time directed to Random House. He mentioned sending some suggestions on VENTURE to me indirectly. Obviously he didn't get my answer when he wrote this one.
He sent me the rules for a word-definition game - called ZIP.

Rcd. a nice letter from Gary Silver and, separately, a copy of the I.D.E.A.S. NEWSLETTER.
Gini Scott, the president of I.D.E.A.S., is the one who did OH PEG IT and she remembers meeting me.
