So, O.G., what's the story behind "the rumor of the Molkar (Korunme) running straight into the Yan Koryani camp, around one of their campfires, and then disappearing into the night is rather hard to believe"? If you happen to remember it--I know I couldn't remember details from games I was in 25+ years ago.

More broadly, was the gazetteer actually distributed to Barker's players in some form? Are these excerpts from campaign newsletters or something like that? And what period of Barker's campaign does this represent? Some parts of the gazetteer refer to details of the Swords and Glory maps, which didn't come out until 1984. But I'd guess that Korunme's exploits must have taken place back in the 1970s, and using E.P.T. rather than S&G.

Of course, if you'd rather defer all this sort of thing for your column, that's cool too.
