1) Did they give you any trouble since it was so widely available? I know a lot of publishers won't touch things that are already out there.
Nope, never said a thing about it. And given the sales, they were clearly right to not do so.
2) heh - even running a PnP D&D game in 1978 would put you in a small group!
Not THAT small. As far as I know, though, I was the first in the world to run a PBEM D&D game. 4) That's really strange - where were you hanging out that they encountered you so many times? ("Roll for wandering monsters") Did your thorough reading of Halstead help protect you?
In the summer the things are quite common in Norway, where I was vacationing. I was swimming and encountered one as I surfaced, and I pulled in a couple when I was fishing.
