There appears to be no listing in the information pages for the TSR inhouse periodicals. I am looking at a copy of Random Events, the inhouse magazine for TSR Hobbies Inc staff, dated April 15th 1982. Indication in the text of the 'zine would be that there was at least one previous issue, but does anyone have any further information on the extent of this publication?
This particular issue contains a lead article by
EGG correcting an article in the previous issue describing the setup and management structure at the top of TSR, in laymans terms for the staff. This would imply (and the text certainly reinforces this) that the 'zine is operated and published within TSR, by the staff themselves, with the knowledge and permission of the senior exectutive, but not under their control or authorship. It makes for good reading for those interested in the management and operation of the company back in those days, as it seems to come at a time when TSR was growing at its fastest rate.
Contents also include Jim Ward's write up of the team's trip to Akron, Ohio (the first GenCon East?), the inhouse 'name the celebrity staff member from their childhood photo contest', and other management related articles on time manegement and printshop wastage.
Wouldn't mind getting a hold of more of these.
Any info anyone can shed on this odd little inhouse publication would be most appreciated.
This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.
