There's an Acaeum page listing unpublished JG products, mostly from advertisements, but I don't see any of those products listed. Witches Court Marsh was the only one of the four published, in 1982.

I found a single post by James Mishler referring to these products.

Quote:

Hmmm... couple things noticed in "Hanging Out in the City State" in Pegasus #8 (Jun/Jul 1982, more or less). A couple of listings for future products never released that I've not heard mentioned before (or maybe just missed mention of):

"Golden Sands of Death," by Ed Mortimer. This was supposed to be an adventure set in Campaign Map 7, and involve "politics, history, the forces of the Holy Cities, battle the proud nomads, the Golden Lions, temple-fortress, wilderness". Sounds like it might have essentially been "Wilderness Book 6"!

"Inns and Taverns" (from Pegasus), supposed to be a July 1982 release, never happened.

"Tulla, the City of Mages" actually spelled "Tula" on the map.

"Majestic Wilderlands: Campaign Overview" was going to be, I imagine, much like the Necromancer Games "Players Guide to the Wilderlands" ended up being.

"The House of Euklidies" with no detail at all.

I'd also seen earlier "Final Frontier," an announced boxed set with a TON of lead minis... maybe that was remade into "Imperial Infantry Squad," sans minis? Hmmm...

"Falconraid" a full-page pic depicting a pixie (?) with a falcon on a tree branch (or a man with a huuuuge falcon on a huuuuuge tree). An early concept for something Faerie Meat-like, perhaps?

Not much different "coming soon" stuff from then until #12, which listed "Supra Sentinels," a forthcoming super-hero RPG from JG.

Makes me wish the "Lurid Lairs" book had come out. It would have been awesome to round things out, next to the canonical set of Castles I/II, Villages I/II, Islands I and Temples I. Similarly the Inns and Taverns book.
