From: sos@oz.plymouth.edu (Steffan O'Sullivan) Subject: Metagaming Interplay Index Index of Metagaming's Interplay Magazines Metagaming, which closed its doors some 13 years ago, published a nifty little house-organ magazine called Interplay. There were only eight issues, but if you play any of their games (especially The Fantasy Trip - TFT - an RPG), the issues are great stuff. This is the first attempt at an index. It is not complete. For one thing, I have not indexed any of the TFT articles except those that cover a genre other than fantasy. If you are interested in basic fantasy TFT, then EVERY issue has at least one, usually more, articles, Q&A, letters, variants, new spells, talents, etc. The three non-fantasy TFT articles are: TFT Hymenoptera .............................. IP6 TFT Old West Rules ........................... IP2 TFT Space Rules .............................. IP4 And the other RPG they published is discussed: Dragons of Underearth: Designer's Notes ...... IP8 Here are the board games covered in Interplay, with the issue number they appeared in. (IP1 = Interplay issue #1, of course.) And right up front, let me tell you that I will not copy or type in any article for you, sorry. Nor are my copies of Interplay for sale, nor do I know where you can buy any, nor do I know how much yours are worth. Air-Eaters Strike Back: Designer's Notes ..... IP1 Air-Eaters Strike Back: Errata ............... IP3 Air-Eaters: Background ....................... IP3 Command at Sea: Designer's Notes ............. IP4 Command at Sea: Errata ....................... IP4 Fire When Ready: Designer's Notes ............ IP6 Fury of the Norsemen: Designer's Notes ....... IP5 Hitler's War: Strategy Article ............... IP5 Lords of Underearth: Errata .................. IP1 Lords of Underearth: Scenario Notes .......... IP2 Ramspeed: Alternate Rules .................... IP5 Ramspeed: Expansion Rules & Comments ......... IP7 Rommel's Panzers: Designer's Notes ........... IP1 Rommel's Panzers: Scenario Notes ............. IP5 Stalin's Tanks: Designer's Notes Pt. 1 ....... IP2 Stalin's Tanks: Designer's Notes Pt. 2 .......
