Called <u>Harry Lorayne</u> and made date to meet at Reiss at 2.


Rcd. [received] a copy of <u>THE SPACE GAMER</u> #1, with a note from <u>Howard Thompson</u>
"I've entered you with a 'perpetual' sub to TSG."
<br>In the mag. [magazine] there is a notice that they will sell <u>STAR PROBE</u> and
<u>DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS</u> (both by "Tactical Studies Rules"). Announcement
that Metagaming's next game will be <u>THE YTHRI</u> and theme
after that <u>HYMENOPTRIA</u> (probably with a different name.
Some letters on <u>STELLAR CONQUEST</u>, including one by me - and a very
flattering comment. "Plugs" includes <u>SUPERNOVA</u>, <u>ALIEN SPACE</u>,
<u>PHANTOM STAR RAIDERS</u>, <u>STAR PROBE</u>, <u>DUNGEONS & DRAGONS</u>, <u>GALAXY II</u>,
<u>STARBASE 2300</u>, <u>STARGUARD</u>, <u>TRIPLANETARY</u>. A "Science Fiction home
survey" by <u>Thomas Galloway</u> lists the following: <u>GORGAMELLA</u>,
<u>DUNGEONS & DRAGONS</u>, <u>SPACE HUK</u> (2nd), <u>STELLAR CONQUEST</u>, <u>4000 AD</u>,
<u>TRIPLANETARY</u>, <u>LENSMAN</u>, <u>BATTLE OF HELM'S DEEP</u>, <u>ASSASSIN</u>,
<u>STARFORCE: ALPHA CENTAURI</u>, <u>CHAINMAIL</u> (booklet), <u>SPACE HUK</u> (1st),
<u>DERCH-ACH</u>, <u>EMPIRE I</u>, <u>MOONBASE</u>, <u>2ND GALACTIC WAR</u>,
<u>WAYLAND MADNESS</u>, <u>RIGELLIAN WARS</u>.
Rcd. the 1975 <u>TOYS</u> directory.
Rcd. a vacation ad with 5 symbols repeated quite a few times.
(Filed with other material of this nature.)
Since I didn't receive the <u>AGOG</u> copyright release I called <u>Fay Hartoy</u>.
On vacation and spoke to <u>Fabio Coen</u> instead. He just signed it-
and he is the last- a few days ago so I should be getting it
very soon.
<br>He checked on the sales of <u>BEYOND TIC-TAC-TOE</u>- abt. 9,500 (don't
recall exact number).
<br>I'm to contact him when I want to talk about a follow-up book.
Looked at <s>my</s> the last letters from <u>John Gollon</u> and took out the
following material to reproduce for him: <u>HYPERCHESS</u> rules,
<u>AVIATION</u> <s>RULES</s> rules, <u>TRITACTICS</u> rules and value table; 4
Dutch pamphlets - <u>TRIO</u>, <u>HET GÉRAM'S WERELD SCHAAKSPEL</u>,
<u>HANDLEIDING VOOR HET "NOVO-SCHAAKSPEL"</u>, <u>NEO-SCHAAK</u>.
To <u>Felicia</u>'s. Told her that there is a German company - who
wants to remain secret - is interested in my game <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u>.
Since no other agent is involved, I will give her 10% if they take
the game. Told her that they were also interested in <u>DARN CLEVER</u>,
also with 10% to her if they take it. She was quite appreciative.
<br><u>Ian Newman</u> [??] 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 <u>Dick Harris</u>. She
showed them to me (are these duplicate models?).
<br><u>MASTER SPY</u>. Didn't get all the details. The gimmick is an opaque
plastic tube with a device that dispenses small plastic
balls. Players get assignment cards which show a combination
of three colors. They move around the board and at
