The Pygmalion

[Havard]

I very much doubt any such folder of lost material existed, but who knows. Supplement II mimics the kind of content in Supplement one, and I'm sure that's deliberate. Arneson also made the comment in one of his interviews ( I think the mortality radio one, but I'm not sure) that he wrote the hit location system for supplement II because he was asked to. That tells me that he was asked for certain kinds of material for the supplement and that's what he provided. Of course, I notice these things because I've theorized that Gygax decided to publish the D&D rules "early" because he wanted to present rules as he preferred them without compromising with Dave anymore, so he developed the Greyhawk rules to that end and meant to let Dave have a chance for his rules in the Blackmoor supplement. But that's just me guessing.

I dont have the exact quote with me, but I seem to remember Kask describing parts of what Arneson submitted as unusable. My theory was that Arneson submitted at least enough material to make up for the page count of SuppII, but that much of it was replaced by Marsh/Kask/Gygax material. Basketfulls, right? If the submitted, but not used material was saved, that could have been what would have been in said folder. Your reasoning does have a logic to it though.
