A GRISELDA BIBLIOGRAPHY

many of the stories and other items was as follows: Lucky Eddi White Dwarf 29, 1982Griselda Gets Her Men White Dwarf 30, 1982A Tasty Morsel White Dwarf 41, 1983Shamus Gets a Case White Dwarf 42, 1983Hanufa's Little Sister White Dwarf 43, 1983The Great Chart Caper Pavis (Chaosium 1983)Wolfhead's Lair Scenario in Big Rubble (Chaosium 1983)All in the Family White Dwarf 51, 1984Down Among the Dead Men Different Worlds 43, 1986Bad Example Different Worlds 44, 1986Good Advice Different Worlds 45, 1987Holding the Baby (1) Green Slime 1, 1988 (2) Tales of the Reaching Moon 4, 1990Wolfhead's Story Tales of the Reaching Moon 2, 1989Serious Money Tales of the Reaching Moon 3, 1990This Love Business Tales of the Reaching Moon 5, 1991Carving Up Carver Tales of the Reaching Moon 6, 1991The Hero Bit Tales of the Reaching Moon 7, 1992Devil's Play Tales of the Reaching Moon 8, 1992Worlds Apart Convulsion '92 Programme BookGriselda Song 1 Convulsion '92 Programme BookRed Hot Tales of the Reaching Moon 9, 1993
All of the above were
republished, often with some corrections and expansions, in The Collected Griselda
(Reaching Moon Megacorp 1993, now totally sold out), together with 'Griselda
the Hero??', 'Happy Anniversary', and Griselda Song 2. It should be noted
that The Collected Griselda contains the only authorised version of
'The Great Chart Caper'; the one in Pavis, which has been reprinted in
Glorantha Classics Volume I: Pavis & Big Rubble (Moon Design Publications
1999), includes unauthorised textual changes. 'The Hero Bit' is republished
in Gloranthan Visions (included in the DeLuxe Hero Wars box, Issaries Inc.
2000). 'The Matchmaker' and 'First
Class Protection' were published in the Peoples of Pavis booklet produced for
the 'City of All the above were republished in The Complete Griselda (Issaries Inc. 2001), with some minor textual changes. Published for the first time in this were The Trouble With Nephews (to which M. O'Brien's Interfering Uncles Have Their Uses is appended); Different Shades of Red; Respect; The Cradlesnatchers; Griselda Song 3; Griselda Blues. Griselda: a Brief Biography and Points of View are
also published in Tradetalk 8. A lot of material about Griselda and her associates appears
in The Pavis and Big Rubble Companion Vol. III: the Legacy of Pavis, pp.
38-41 (last page on Griselda herself, with previously unknown facts about her
background and activities, part-written and thoroughly okayed by Oliver
Dickinson, unlike the French version of Griselda in Multisim's Hero Wars:
Pavis, about which he was not consulted at all). The only published Griselda story not in The Complete
Griselda is Meet The Parents, read at Convulsion CO2 in 2002; this has
appeared in Shadows of Pavis (2003). Also read on that occasion was a
crossover story with Friends (a minor obsession of Oliver Dickinson's) called
The One Where Rachel Is Brave, in which many Pavis characters including
Griselda are seen "from the outside". (now on the website) A new
song, In the Rubble Now (to the tune of In the Jailhouse Now, for which see
Oh Brother Where Art Thou?), was sung on that occasion too. The latest story, A Day at the Races, will be read at Continuum in July 2006, with other new material, it is hoped.. |
