  • Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, Version 2.7
    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] . Feel free to copy/share/print this list. Please visit these websites for the best Dungeons&Dragons archives on the Internet : http://www.acaeum.com http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/index.htm .

  • 279 Critical Chronological Anthology of Passages
    279 CRITICAL CHRONOLOGICAL ANTHOLOGY OF PASSAGES FROM WAGNER’S WRITINGS AND RECORDED REMARKS (In English translation) 1861-1870 By Paul Brian Heise 2001 ½ 55th St. South Gulfport, FL 33707 Home Tel: 727-343-0365 Email: [email protected] 11/27/01 (Revision 7-11/06) (alternative address c/o the author’s mother Marjorie Heise: 111 Simms Dr., Annapolis, MD 21401; 410-263-5628) This anthology is based on a document completed by the author in the early 1990’s as a study for his upcoming book The Wound That Will Never Heal, which will be the most comprehensive and unified conceptual study of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen and his six other repertory operas and music dramas (from Der Fliegende Hollaender through Parsifal) under one cover. The passages included in this anthology were selected on the basis of their potential or actual value as aids to understanding Wagner’s operas and music dramas, and his creative process in general, and will be an appendix of the completed book. I intend to market this anthology, as a compact disc for independent study, with my book. Three distinct fonts represent different degrees of significance: (1) passages in light print are provided merely for context and for clues to the understanding of more important passages; (2) passages in bold face are important; (3) italic passages in boldface are crucial to understanding Wagner’s artworks and his creative process. I have also completed a chronological, annotated anthology of all those passages from the writings of Ludwig Feuerbach which seem to have influenced Wagner’s writings, recorded remarks, and his opera and music-drama librettos.
