Jon Peterson's book _Playing at the World_ is a new, comprehensive early history of the development of RPGs out of wargames through about 1978 TSR, and is well-worth checking out if you're interested in the history of the hobby.
Jon recently started a blog with two interesting posts featuring scans of these very rare publications:
- The Domeday Book #1 @ Playing at the World: Domesday Book [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1 [/url] (DB was the newsletter of the Castles & Crusades Society)
- The Blackmoor Gazette and Rumormonger #1 @ Playing at the World: Blackmoor Gazette and Rumormonger [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1 [/url] (the BMG&RM was Dave Arneson's newsletter for the Blackmoor campaign)
