Interesting Q&A with Allen Hammack, former TSR editor and author, conducted by James Mishler & posted on his blog. Of note here, it mentions he worked on edited the Holmes Basic Set (likely the later printings/editions).

Draft of a new version of the character sheet for Holmes Ref. Let meknow what you think.

Had a wonderful time taking my 3 youngest kids and their cousin through the sample dungeon tonight.

Had a wonderful time taking my 3 youngest kids and their cousin through the sample dungeon tonight. Jeweled dagger in the catacombs killed off a character and it was awesome how well they reacted.

Inspired by Wayne Rossi, another 1970s California-native gaming set. Starting with the left column:
- The original Warlock rules printed in The Spartan #9 (#10 behind it has Thief ability charts)
- Warlock's Tower
- Instant Bad Guys
- The Warlock Menagerie (from 1980, but I'll slip it in here)
- The Complete Warlock
- Holmes Basic (naturally)
- The Manual of Aurania
- The Spellcaster's Bible (for a crazy variety of spells)
- Chaosium's All the World's Monsters volumes 1-3 (vol. 2 contains the Perrin Conventions)
- Booty and the Beasts (for high weirdness in monsters and treasures. I only have a facsimile copy, I'm afraid)

Missing from my collection: anything Arduin :(
