<u>Red</u> was fascinated by my description of <u>ORION</u> and asked if <br> | |||
I could get a copy for him. Told him I'd try. <br> | |||
Spoke to <u>Al Nofi</u> about the <u>INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW</u>. He was sent <br> | |||
the material that I have and sent them my name. He doesn't <br> | |||
know anything further. One of the people listed as a speaker does <br> | |||
not have a good reputation he says. <br> | |||
<u>Jim</u> showed me issue #1 of the magazine ''<u>CONFLICT</u>''. It is <br> | |||
definitely imitative of ''<u>S & T</u>'' in its format. <br> | |||
Copied some pages with variants of <u>JUTLAND</u>. Also copied all the <br> | |||
material except the counters for a complete game <br> | |||
<u>GUERRE A OUTRANCE</u>. | |||
To the apartment where <u>Chuck Daugherty</u> is visiting. His background is <br> | |||
in radio and TV, having been a disc jockey as well as a producer of <br> | |||
TV shows. He recently left ABC. His idea to devise a board <u>GAME</u> <br> | |||
and then sell it as a TV game, using his contacts. I felt that the <br> | |||
hard part would be selling it as a board game. We discussed his idea <br> | |||
for a <u>PYRAMID</u> game, also a financial <u>GAME</u> using stock market <br> | |||
quotations and giving stock and/or annuities as prizes. I said that <br> | |||
I wouldn't really be able to work on it until after the summer, <br> | |||
which was fine with him. He'll contact me about coming for supper <br> | |||
next time he is in New York. <br> | |||
He has been reading <u>''AGOG''</u> and enjoys it. <br> | |||
He has spent about $30,000 on <u>BEAT POLLUTION</u>. G.M. was <br> | |||
originally going to sponsor it, but wanted him to do all the art work, <br> | |||
etc. Then they wanted changed [changes] to whitewash them and the deal <br> | |||
fell thru. Chuck now has two companies that may want it as a <br> | |||
premium. Dynamic Design and House of Games, both of whom <br> | |||
are interested in putting it out, don't object if it is a premium <br> | |||
for the next year until they come out with it, if they do. <br> | |||
To <u>Earl</u>'s. <u>Claude</u>, but not Issie, there. <br> | |||
Played a little <u>PAIR OFF</u>. O.K. but not enthusiastic. <br> | |||
