Naked Sword

I saw this advertisement in issue #89 of Dragon (September 1984):

Since I can find no evidence of its existence, I assume that it never came out. Is that correct? Does anyone by chance know anything about this? From the scant information here, I can only assume that it was a warrior-centric counterpart to Thieves' Guild, but it's hard to say for sure.

    Yes, it was to be the warrior class version of the revised rules Gamelords was producing for Thieves Guild second edition. It never arrived. Neither did the magic users game (can't recall the name).

    I believe Kerry Lloyd passed away and Gamelords went under around d this time.

      There was going to be a magic-user one, too? Wow. Thanks for this information. I had no idea.

    Yes. I want to say it was to be called "Path of the Magi", but I'm probably wrong (so says my wife all the time) I was into TG a bit and the catalog/price sheet in the 2E TG box mentioned the next two games.

    "Paths of Sorcery" was supposed to be the wizard one per the Introduction section of the 2nd edition boxed set

      Thank you. 40 years, surprised I got it partially correct!

      You are both examples of why this community is awesome.

    The old “Stonehenge" font published by Graphic Products Corporation as paste up letters sure got around the early game industry. TSR, Palladium FRPG, Heritage Miniatures "Dungeon Dwellers" and Citadel Miniatures/GW to name a few.
