directly with me. | directly with me. After this the deals will be with "Gamut <br> | ||
of Games." I said that I had a contract with "Hoi Polloi" <br> | |||
which should be honored, but Phil pointed out that they have <br> | |||
the right to take games from anyone and they want to <br> | |||
take them from "Gamut of Games." I agreed. The deal will <br> | |||
be that "Gamut" will take about 10% agent's fee from <br> | |||
my half. Phil will get less since he is getting a salary from <br> | |||
"Gamut." <br> | |||
In a month or so Phil expects that there will be a great <br> | |||
deal of "premium" work, so much so that he won't be able <br> | |||
to do it all himself and I will be involved in a similar <br> | |||
manner to the above arrangement with "Gamut" as my agent. <br> | |||
He asked if <u>TABLUT</u> had been done commercially. Told him <br> | |||
about <u>VIKING KRIG-LEK</u>. Looked for my copy but <s>found it</s> <br> | |||
couldn't find it at once. <br> | |||
After the call discovered that I never got a copy of <br> | |||
<u>VIKING KRIG-LEK</u> since it never went into production. <br> | |||
Looked at my contract with "Hoi Polloi." They have first <br> | |||
refusal right on all my p & p games, but I am free after <br> | |||
they refuse a game. <br> | |||
Called <u>Mike Alber</u> and spoke to him about getting a copy <br> | |||
of <u>BILLIONAIRE</u>, <u>BOGGLE</u>, <u>GRAPPLE</u>, and <u>FLUSTER</u>. Since they <br> | |||
don't have good boxes for shipping, he'll have a package <br> | |||
wrapped up and I'll pick it up when I am in the neighborhood. | |||
To <u>Felicia</u> and signed the <u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u> contact. <br> | |||
Don Green has left Ed-U-Cards for Creative Playthings. My <br> | |||
game of <u>TRAVELINE</u> was rejected. <br> | |||
<u>INVASION</u> and <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u> still haven't reached her. She <br> | |||
wrote once but will write again If she doesn't get them by <br> | |||
the middle of the week. <br> | |||
The package from <u>VITTET</u> was another board for his <br> | |||
<u>L'ANNEAU ENCHANTE DE TOM TIT</u> - with an English title <br> | |||
<u>MAGIC WAR TRAILS</u> - and the PCs. No rules or covering letter. <br> | |||
Maybe they'll come later. <br> | |||
She had a puzzle, named <u>VEX</u>, by <u>Alan M. Newman</u>. There are <br> | |||
8 cubes with magnets in each face. The object is to assemble <br> | |||
it so that adjoining faces attract each other. In the model the <br> | |||
magnets were too weak to give the proper attraction <br> | |||
