Wayne's Books Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Thought this might be of interest to DG folks. I put up an auction (3 days left as of now) of the true 1st edition / 1st print of the Unspeakable Oath. For the longest time, I thought the orange cover Issue 1 was "1st". Not so. If you're more interested in the background and photos, see my blog post about Issue 1. -Wayne Edited February 8, 2020 by Wayne's Books Added tags 2 Quote Sales site: WaynesBooks.net RPG reference: WaynesBooks.com Games Gallery: WaynesBooks.games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHistorian Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It's less a first printing and more of a prototype/test printing. Issue 2 has a grey version as well. Quote 44/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kross Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I'm pretty sure issue 3 does as well, and maybe 4? I know several of those early issues had test runs, as up until a few years ago I still had all of my copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHistorian Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 That would be news to me! I've seen only the first two. Quote 44/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just checked and three and four both have test printings, as I still have mine. These were given to contributors, apparently, which is why I still have mine. I still have my 1st print of issue 1 as well, but it looks like I'm missing my normal printing of #3, as all I have left is the test print copy. Oh well, ain't like I use anyway, but it's nice to have a "complete" set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kross Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Sorry, not able to take/post pics. Basically, the test printings were exactly the same thing as the final versions, but printed on cheaper paper; even the cover was just a normal weight. Plus I think they had a notice at the bottom of the contents page that this was a test printing for contributors in a total of X copies. I think those test runs were less than 20 copies or so.
