_________________________________________

Musings:

This is an interesting departure for both Entertainment Concepts and TSR Inc. This has every appearance of being a TSR product with the basic exception that the publisher is Entertainment Concepts. This is the only example of this type of licensing and TSR's foray into PBM gaming (Please correct me if I am wrong here). I can only guess it wasn't successful.

Notice Larry Elmore's signature is backward meaning the image was printed backwards.

I think there's one other D&D PBM, but I can't remember anything about it except the b/w cover. It sold on ebay a few years ago.

I remember that auction and probably have it saved somewhere. I seem to remember that the other D&D PBM was copyright 1978 or something early. I don't think it was an official TSR release though.
