David L Pulver - After doing some quick research and applying the interrogatives I posted above (q.v.), it turns out that from the summer of 1977 - around the same release time as Melee - Games Workshop owned and began publishing White Dwarf magazine. Additionally, Games Workshop was the exclusive UK and European Distributor for TSR and Dungeon and Dragons in the 70s. Furthermore, Games Workshop also owned and operated a retail chain of game stores in the UK.

Without knowing how HT handled his relationship with Games Workshop, or his international sales, marketing, and distribution plan for Metagaming products in the UK and Europe, I leave you to draw you own conclusions as to why you perceive a lack of editorial air-play and promotion of the TFT product line in their magazine during the heyday of The Fantasy Trip.
