“The Fantasy Forum”—a fanzine

[Chris Rice]

I notice that "Rick Smith" was a contributor. I wonder if that could be the Rick Smith well known on these forums. If so, perhaps he can tell us more about this fanzine?

Hi Chris,
I contributed some articles to them, I don't think they ever sent me a copy, even the copies where I gave them stuff, which was kinda lame.

Warm regards, Rick.

That's a very poor show on their part Rick.

It seems likely that the Lester W. Smith who edited that magazine is this well-known and prolific designer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_W._Smith

which might mean that he could be contacted.

Check with Marc Miller.

That's great; Les is a good man.

Do you perhaps mean "Howard Thompson"?

It is really neat how the Kickstarter is prompting people to knock the dust off of old newsletters and such.


I posted pictures of my Interplay set on Twitter, as well as a shot of my one-and-only TFT article (and artwork!). Alas, the rights are tied up with Thompson. I don't think they were (C) me so the 35 year rule does not work. (It was a variant article, describing Astrology skills, plus a description of an astrologer, his house, & staff.)


I hope the Fantasy Forum stuff becomes available.
