191st day - 174 days to come

Called Harry Lorayne and made date to meet at Reiss at 2.

Rcd. [received] a copy of THE SPACE GAMER #1, with a note from Howard Thompson "I've entered you with a 'perpetual' sub to TSG."
In the mag. [magazine] there is a notice that they will sell STAR PROBE and DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS (both by "Tactical Studies Rules"). Announcement that Metagaming's next game will be THE YTHRI and theme after that HYMENOPTRIA (probably with a different name. Some letters on STELLAR CONQUEST, including one by me - and a very flattering comment. "Plugs" includes SUPERNOVA, ALIEN SPACE, PHANTOM STAR RAIDERS, STAR PROBE, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, GALAXY II, STARBASE 2300, STARGUARD, TRIPLANETARY. A "Science Fiction home survey" by Thomas Galloway lists the following: GORGAMELLA, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, SPACE HUK (2nd), STELLAR CONQUEST, 4000 AD, TRIPLANETARY, LENSMAN, BATTLE OF HELM'S DEEP, ASSASSIN, STARFORCE: ALPHA CENTAURI, CHAINMAIL (booklet), SPACE HUK (1st), DERCH-ACH, EMPIRE I, MOONBASE, 2ND GALACTIC WAR, WAYLAND MADNESS, RIGELLIAN WARS.

He checked on the sales of BEYOND TIC-TAC-TOE- abt. 9,500 (don't recall exact number).
I'm to contact him when I want to talk about a follow-up book. Looked at my the last letters from John Gollon and took out the following material to reproduce for him: HYPERCHESS rules, AVIATION RULES rules, TRITACTICS rules and value table; 4 Dutch pamphlets - TRIO, HET GÉRAM'S WERELD SCHAAKSPEL, HANDLEIDING VOOR HET "NOVO-SCHAAKSPEL", NEO-SCHAAK.

To Felicia's. Told her that there is a German company - who wants to remain secret - is interested in my game FOREIGN INTRIGUE. Since no other agent is involved, I will give her 10% if they take the game. Told her that they were also interested in DARN CLEVER, also with 10% to her if they take it. She was quite appreciative.
Ian Newman [??] came up and I asked about his trip to Parker. They liked both of the games he showed them, but their 1976 line is all set. Felicia wants to show them to Dick Harris. She showed them to me (are these duplicate models?).
