Has anyone taken the back cover info/details, along with printing dates, to compile a history of TSR's printing schedule, month by month?? You can also see that by looking at the Supplements @ http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/setpage ... ments.html but that doesn't paint the full picture, of course, since you'd also need the TSR Products Lists @ viewtopic.php?t=3283 too.

This sounds like it would be pretty feasible to do, but it would require some cross-pollinating efforts (since most folks aren't print-run collectors for later printings of the supplements, and many folks don't collect the non-D&D TSR).

Thoughts?

Yes

but I've not touched it in a while. I have talked a little about it in other threads, but I only have been using items up to 1983? (Have not looked but I think that year was when the product lists disappeared from the products) Used other sources as well.
I'll see if I can dig it up and see what state it is in.

That's ok my collecting only goes 'til 1983 as well.

I really wish there was more info on the non-D&D TSR stuff and this might also be another bird-stone of this project.

If I can help in any way... I have bits of non-D&D TSR stuff that I can go through and scan if need be.

Cheers,
D

Well for Non-D&D this I believe is what I need:
Field Regulations (?/76) lizard logo
Battle of the Five Armies 1st (?/76)
Suspicion (?/77) lizard logo (Acaeum has this listed as © 1977) (Mentioned in Dragon 8 -- 7/77)
Warlocks & Warriors 1st (?/77) Lizard Logo
African Campaign 2nd Edition (?/77) TSR release, Lizard Logo
Little Big Horn 2nd (?/78) (Unsure if exists, but did get info off a site about year for LBH)
Knights of Camelot 2nd (?/80?) (wizard) May not have a catalog

Course not sure if I've been given this info...but I don't think I have been.

I know I have Suspicion (it may be in shrink though), and think I have W&W and KoC in the printings you need, and may or may not have Field Regs. What data do you want from these?

Any product catalogs they have (A nice clean scan or photo), any dates like in the Intro or Forward, and any info like what TSR logo is on it (The last two can just be written out, don't need a scan/photo).

I don't think either printing of Field Regulations has a catalog page. I would have sent it to you and listed it on the Tome.

Ah crap, yeah I never even checked the Tome for these. Guess I should when I have time.
