If you have version 1.1 and could check the date on it, that would be awesome.

The only things I'm interested in are products that were officially released in print. So, if the magic items were official cards  (or printed sheets), I'd be very interested in learning more about them.

Thanks!

I have some magic item "cards" but they are cut out strips of paper.  Included are Necklace of Gaseous Form, Gloves of Missile Attraction and Boots of Slipping and Sliding.

I have a copy of version 1.1 on the way so will be able to verify the date when it arrives.  Also, a stack of The Trumpeter "The Newsletter of Ravens Bluff".  I haven't figured out if this is a regional newsletter or an RPGA official release.  Another one on the way is The Canadian Adventurer which sounds a lot like a regional one (so probably unofficial release).

Resurrecting this thread in an attempt to discern what typically came in the Living City folder pack, which I believe was only provided to higher-level regional RPGA Living City coordinators.

What my packet contains (organized by folder panel):

Blue tri-panel plastic folder with Raven’s Bluff emblem

Left panel:
- A Player's Guide to the Living City Campaign, Version 1.2, April 1996
- 37 numbered pages, with the back of page 37 serving as a certificate page
- Includes an official RPGA Ravens Bluff “The Living City” AD&D Character Sheet (double-sided)
- Loose-leaf, three-hole punched

Center panel:
- Full-size notepad (notepad inclusion seems standard, but additional confirmation would be useful)

Right panel:
- Color Ravens Bluff map
- Living City Campaign: Procampur City Expansion Packet, 12 sheets, angle corner-stapled

I don't know if this is the typical placement for these items, but that’s how they were arranged in my folder packet.

Except for the map, all sheets appear to be period-appropriate photocopies, not sealed, and have no covers or product codes. The map is heavier paper stock, and is possibly the same map produced for one of the retail products, possibly LC1, which seems to match.

Questions / Points for Clarification:
- Can anyone verify the original contents provided and how these folders were produced?
- Are these contents similar to or do they match what others have in their packets?
- Were these folder packets only given out to regional coordinators, or perhaps also to higher-level administrators/judges or others?
- Is the map the same one provided in LC1, or was it unique to coordinator packets?
- Was the map ever produced in a glossy version, or were matte prints standard?
- Were there any additional inserts or handouts that sometimes appeared in the folder (e.g., errata sheets, session logs, event instructions)?
- Was the Procampur City Expansion Packet always stapled in the corner, or did this vary between printings?
- Any idea on how many of these packets were produced?
- Were there regional variations in folder contents?

I realize the answers to some of these questions might be very difficult to attain at this point, but any additional information would be great for establishing the provenance of these folder packets.
