Dave Arneson's Corner of the Table Top Reprint teased

[Havard]

Today is Dave Arneson Game Day.

Several days ago I set up a long distance meeting with Paul Stormberg to go through the entire publication of Corner of the Table Top.

It didn't really occur to me when I said, Let's do it next Tuesday, that we'd be analyzing COTT on Dave Arneson Game Day, it just happened to end up that way.

Corner of the Table Top, or COTT, is Dave Arneson's fanzine that was published from 1968 up to at least 1986.

A few years ago I spent about 2 weeks on this very same task and created a hand written catalog. The work was very confusing and I found myself redoing sections because I was comparing scans people had sent me with a paper collectionn I had on hand.

I expect we will spend several hours comparing several collections and examining each issue one by one. It's actually the kind of detailed research that I hate doing because it's review work for me, but it has to get done.

The goal is to create the most complete catalog of COTT's in existence. If there is enough interest, we may even publish the entire set of fanzines in a full color book.

Not all the CoTT issues mention Blackmoor, but for hard core Dave Arneson fans, this would be an incredible resource.
