Oops, I realize I forgot to respond to your asterisk.
*Yeah, I hated the Players Forms, another example of The Distributors
screwing us up one side and down the other. They demanded both the Players
Forms and Referee's Screen, so we added those to the production schedule,
another of those "easy" projects that sucked up disproportionate
development time (q.v. those freaking folios, Star Vikings, etc.). And
then the distributors broke up the discounted box sets to sell the pieces
for more money, and then stopped ordering any backlist for about a year
once that CCG came out.
