"Thar she blows"
The article that features the dungeon "The Dungeons of the Ground Goblins" is by Steve Jackson of Games Workshop. What scribe posted above is a copy (sans page #s and art) of page 9. _________________ "This is cool."

Awesome. I'll have to dig that back out of the pile soon and make a RF entry for that item with your additional information. Neat stuff! _________________

Nice pickup, I plan on searching some UK bookstores when I get to Edinburgh in October.
Thanks. I was doing cartwheels when that auction ended at that price. I've been looking for P&G for years. I'm kind of an Anglophile anyway. One of the grad students I went to school with was from Manchester. She was great. _________________ "This is cool."

grodog, I'd actually still like to see the rest of the 'sample adventure'. The dungeon part is complete, but the descriptive text is cut-off halfway.
I posted a partial transcription in the OD&D forum on Dragonsfoot a while back, in case any one wanted to use the dungeon (the scans on the previous page being a bit hard to read):

Also, grodog you might want to post your scan when they set up the page for this item, since yours is a copy of the third "print".
1st: GAMES & PUZZLES, No. 48, May 1976 (UK magazine)
2nd: "VISIT A WORLD OF SWORDS & SORCERY With DUNGEONS & DRAGONS", Games Workshop promotional flier (has been found in OD&D boxes in the UK)
3rd: PEOPLE'S COMPUTERS, V5N2, September 1976 (US magazine)
Comparing the scans of #1 & #2, they replaced the small art in #1 with the cover illos from U&WA and Greyhawk. grodog, what art does your reprint have?
(My 2nd post here! Thanks to all who welcomed me above)
It lists issues #39, 48, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 62, and 75 as having D&D content. If you get a chance, could you let us know what is in the other issues aside from 48.

Interesting that reprints were so much more common back then, vs. the past several years (or even the past decade or two).

Not much: basically mostly-filler pieces, though the giant fish looks familiar (perhaps it's from the MM?). Certainly no cover shots from the supplements/etc.
