I was wondering about the "Supplement V" nomenclature. Wouldn't Corcosa be technically Supplement VI, since "Swords & Spells" was the fifth supplement to OD&D?

Is it because Swords & Spells didn't actually bear the title of "Supplement V" on the cover?

I think that many folks consider Swords & Spells to be a different and somewhat parallel game and not a true supplement for OD&D, so it's not just a "no name on the book" argument.

Makes sense. I was just wondering, in case someone, I don't know who that might be, would like you know... to write a Supplement VI or something.

I asked the question about whether S&S was Supplement V here:
http://odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=chainmail&action=display&thread=1258

Foster's reply, along with the fact that Supplement IV was described in that book's intro as the last D&D supplement, decided me on calling my book Supplement V: CARCOSA rather than Supplement VI.

I wholeheartedly love the idea of my fellow OD&D fans writing and publishing Supplement VI, Supplement VII, etc. More old-school goodness to fit in my little box!
