The National Gaming & Science Fiction Sourcebook Wants You!


The National Gaming and Science Fiction Sourcebook is a project that
will bring together gaming and fan orgainzations from across North America. We
plan to include clubs, retail and mail-order businesses, publications and
fanzines, play-by-mail games, and online services geared toward thousands of
gaming and/or sci-fi enthusiasts like yourself.
What organizations can be included? Any that want to! In fact, the more
the better. No group is too large, too small, or too specialized. We are
interested in listing organizations devoted to tabletop wargames and
traditional board and card games as well as roleplaying and live-action
roleplaying organizationa. We welcome a wide range of fan organizations as
well. If you've got a message that you think our audience would appreciate,
then you can get a listing. This is free advertising, plain and simple.
A basic listing in the sourcebook is free. Simply fill out the form
below and return it by email to:

2806rsilv@******.cc.umb.edu

Or send a hard copy to:

Unconventional Graphics
841 Worcester Rd
Suite 207
Natick MA 01760

We plan to publish the Sourcebook in early 1994 and it will then be
sold at conventions and possibly by mail order. In the meantime, though, we
need your participation to make this work. The Sourcebook will only be as good
as the response we get, so be sure to list your group and pass the form along
to anyone else who might be interested.

In addition to our standard free listings, we also sell larger ads up
to a full page. Please let us know if you'd like more information on this
option.

Below, you will find out survey form. Organizations are divided into
six categories (Club, Retail, Publication, Manufacturer, Online, and
Play-By-Mail). You may list your group in more than one, if several apply.
After the basic information, there is space for you to describe your group.
Please use this space to give whatever information you would like our readers
to have about your organization and its activities, products, or services.

We welcome any comments and suggestions you might have about the survey
form or the Sourcebook itself. Remember, it is your response that will make
this project a success. We eagerly await your response.

Sincerely,

Rick Silva
Associate Editor
