Publication history

[edit | edit source]

Shannon Appelcline explains that the first licenses Judges Guild acquired with a company other than TSR was for the Traveller role-playing game from GDW, and so "Following their original methodology of publishing gaming aids, Judges Guild rapidly put out a referee screen (1978), a character creation aid (1979), and a book of deck plans (1979)".[3]: 198 

Referee Screen was published by Judges Guild in 1979 as four cardstock pieces.[2]
