So here's the revised list of chapters for my Kickstarter:
FOREWARD INTRODUCTION UNSTATED ASSUMPTIONS – WARGAMING PLAYER SKILL LESSNARD ALONE! UNSTATED ASSUMPTIONS – D&D AND DIPLOMACY UNSTATED ASSUMPTIONS – D&D AND CHAINMAIL UNSTATED ASSUMPTIONS – D&D AND TRACTICS YRAG, XAGYG, REDNIBLLEPS, AND GRONAN FANTASTIC MEDIEVAL WARGAMES CAMPAIGN SETTING ERNIE ON FIRE and TIM AND THE BALROGS GARY incl THE NIGHT WE FED ERNIE TO THE MONSTER and NO KILLING THE PRINCESS DAVE SUTHERLAND DAVE incl NECROSS THE (HA HA HA!) MAD UP IN THE AIR, JUNIOR BIRDMEN! GARY AND DAVE WHY PAY US TO HAVE FUN FOR YOU GHOULASH THE BALROG AND THE ORCS GARY LOSES CONTROL OF HIS GAME PHIL ONCE THERE WAS A LAND CALLED GREYHAWK inc 99 SIDED RANDOM MONSTER DIE GARY GYGAX GAME DESIGN MY GREYHAWK BALROG AND WIZARD TIMES PLAYING IN GREYHAWK AND BLACKMOOR BUT HOW DO I DO IT THE GREATEST UNSTATED ASSUMPTION THE LOST END GAME THINGS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE DJINN, THE BALROG, AND THE PANCAKE OF THREE WISHES OUTDOOR SURVIVAL AFTERWORD
My question is, is there anything anybody would like to know about that I've left out? The parameters are that it's before 1977 (before AD&D 1E). Also, I'm not interested in one-sentence or one-paragraph subjects like "Did you ever encounter a Tarrasque" or "Did Gary Gygax use miniatures for D&D?"; I'm looking for subjects people are interested in that would require fairly long answers, between 500 words anywhere up to 5000 words.
Thanks.

Stories about your experiences joining in the University of Minnesota gaming scene and any adventures there. Overall impressions, games played, people met, that sort of thing.

Nothing else? Seriously?

Did you ever play in any of Professor Barker's Tekumel games? If you did, a chapter devoted to your experiences would be wonderful.
However, looking at your current list of chapters as it stands, I am eagerly awaiting publication!

Doh! I thought "Phil" was referring to someone else... Very cool.
Edit: You know, if I paid more attention to signatures, I'd have realized that you (Mike) did indeed play in the original EPT games... I should probably lay off the Merlot when posting.
Double Edit:... and if I had bothered to read the "Klytus, I'm bored" thread I probably wouldn't have posted at all <head-smack>. Anyway, looking forward to the book!

Nothing else I can think of until I read these chapters. I'm sure they'll spark lots of additional questions. After all, you might want to answer them in Volume 2...

If you're telling stories, I think it would be really great to have some about "the better part of valor" - the stuff you ran the hell away from, or avoided.
To the extent that you are talking about the history, I think some things about the generation gap between younger and older players that grew up would be interesting.

Wow, well, we ran away so much.... But I do include a couple stories. Most of my anecdotes are ones I thought funny, because they stick better.
Generations... Hmm. * scribble scribble *

Didn't see this thread. It looks fascinating. I'm ready to buy. But it's hard to tell from the titles what you might have left out. If anything.

Do you have a chapter exclusively about gaming with Rob Kuntz?
What about the earliest games *you* ran?

I just hope you get your kickstarter up while I have some spare cash!

What P.D. said. I'm looking forward to reading the book, and then telling you what you missed so you can put that in the sequel. :-)
