<u>Dale</u> had message from BB - to call <u>Ken Morgan</u> ([phone number omitted for privacy]),
and <u>Felicia</u> probably wouldn't be at her office at 2 today. <br>
Called <u>Ken Morgan</u>.  His lawyer's son sent him an S.E.C notice
about R.G.I.'s stock being suspended from sale for several months.
Not [now?] is back on sale, but brokers are warned about it.  Ken sent
a copy to me.  Ken wrote to Urban Systems telling them that
R.G.I. was in trouble and that he could get <u>MOVIE MOGULS</u> back. 
Then he learned that Urban Systems was one of the firms R.G.I.
(<u>Bob Gellman</u> that is) was considering merger with. <br>
To <u>Phil Orbanes</u>.  (During meeting with him called <u>Felicia</u> and
learned from her answering service that she wouldn't be in.)
"Gamut of Games" treated me to a sandwich and coffee. <br>
The game of <u>Joel</u>'s originally <u>SPELLBOUND</u>, then <u>KALEIDOSCOPE</u>, is now being
called <u>MONTAGE</u>.  Phil told me a little about it.  There is a quadrille
board.  To start black spaces are put on crossword fashion, and
a number of colored squares are put on according to some
specific setup. Each color can be used for a series of letters -
(like blue could be A, B, C, D, or E; green could be F, G, H, I, or J;
etc.).  Players form words using the colored squares and a
color can be changed to any of its letters in different turns
(Very rough idea.) <br>
Phil gave me a set of rules for <u>REALM</u> that he wrote
up in a hurry,  It has the feature game and 4 mini-games.
It doesn't include the <u>CHAIN REACTION</u> variation and
the one based on <u>HNEFATAFL</u>, which Phil will keep for use as
individual games. <br>
He also gave me a set of playing pcs. so that I can
work on it at home. <br>
We played a game of the feature version, which I won, and
it played quite well - tho I thought a little too short. <br>
Took a sheet with a set of rules for <u>NUMBER PLEASE!</u> which
can be played using the <u>MY WORD!</u> equipment.  Put it with
my <u>MY WORD!</u> set. <br>
Made repros of the rules, which also contain a <br>
