Hey all -
I'm researching a book on the history of Gen Con and need to track down a pesky fact. My intrepid editor, Michelle Nephew of Atlas Games, suggested that I throw it out to the collective wisdom and/or trivia mastery of the Enworld crew.
An anecdote tells me that Steve Perrin (designer of the original Runequest rules) was credited in the acknowledgements of an early AD&D book. According to the story, it's either the Player's Handbook or the DMG. But a check of recent printings of these books turns up no such acknowledgement. Was it in an earlier printing of either book? A different book entirely? Is my informant misremembering completely?
If any of the archivally minded among you would be willing to take a crack at this question, I, Atlas and Gen Con would be much obliged.
