Met Claude at | Met <u>Claude</u> at Metroplitan Book Store. (After dropping off 2 copies<br> | ||
of <u>PATTON</u> with <u>Al Nofi</u> to give to <u>Dave Isby</u> and <u>Bob Champer</u>.)<br> | |||
Claude forgot his <u>ECLIPSE</u> model in his subway booth.<br> | |||
While Claude went to pick up his model I went to "Gamut of<br> | |||
Games". <u>Phil</u> had just sent his gambling game - <u>PRIX</u> to D.D.I.<br> | |||
for consideration. He still had a copy of his rules so I<br> | |||
had him run off repros for me.<br> | |||
Now that Djoli is out of the management of "Gamut of Games"<br> | |||
Phil will be getting busy preparing games to sell. Reiss will <s>be</s><br> | |||
get first refusal rights but after that he will try to set<br> | |||
up other contacts to sell to other companies. He will get a salary<br> | |||
from "Gamut of Games" and also a royalty - max. 33 1/3% of<br> | |||
that given for the game.<br> | |||
I will fit in with "Gamut" also as a supplier of games.<br> | |||
I pointed out that with Hoi Polloi and "Gamut" that was fine,<br> | |||
but with D.D.I. and other companies my moral commitment<br> | |||
to <u>Felicia</u> took precedence. He suggested that he might get<br> | |||
specific assignments for a game. In this case and with<br> | |||
an advance fee, even if nominal, I would be able to take the<br> | |||
assignment. All my things that I think up myself would go<br> | |||
thru Felicia. He wanted my commission to "Gamut" to be<br> | |||
15%. Djoli thought it should be 20%. Phil asked if 17 1/2% <br> | |||
was O.K. with me. Sure.<br> | |||
Had to leave to meet Claude and arranged to come back. Phil<br> | |||
'asked if I could bring him a copy of the new S.P.I. game<br> | |||
packaging. Said I would.<br> | |||
Met <u>Claude</u> at 200 Fifth Ave. and we brought it to Kohner. The<br> | |||
envelope was made out to be delivered to <u>Arnold Stubbman</u><br> | |||
(not Irving as Felicia originally said) and also gave his secretary's<br> | |||
name - all according to Felicia's express orders.<br> | |||
Claude bought me a stack tray at stationery store on 23rd (where<br> | |||
he bought other material - I paid for his lunch at Chock Full<br> | |||
of Nuts). To Childcraft looking and then to a new educational<br> | |||
supply store on Park Ave. South with acronym "TEACH". At<br> | |||
Kwik Kopy bought Claude 12 red pencils for 25¢, but he<br> | |||
insisted that I take two.<br> | |||
Claude came up with me to S.P.I. to help me reduce the number<br> | |||
of games on the list I prepared yesterday, but <u>Jim D.</u> wasn't<br> | |||
in to get his ideas. ''<u>S & T</u>'' #40 still wasn't ready but Manny,<br> | |||
Redmund's assistant, gave me another sheet with my column.<br> | |||
He told me that my column for #41 set up in 2 1/2 <br> | |||
pages and there is room. He found it interesting.<br> | |||
From Sal <s>took</s> got a copy of <u>FOXBAT & PHANTOM</u>, in the<br> | |||
new package, to give to <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. Claude has a friend<br> | |||
who was in the navy in WW2 and I got him a copy of the<br> | |||
''<u>S & T</u>'' with <u>CA</u> to give to his friend.<br> | |||
Claude went home and I went back to "Gamut". Phil told me,<br> | |||
and I heard in a conversation, by phone, with Andy Davis, that<br> | |||
Reiss is not doing as well on a number of items as he had<br> | |||
expected. There will be no movement on new product such<br> | |||
