Musings:

Missing from this program is the listing of events. I am guessing there was a separate sheet issued at the convention with this official program book. I am also guessing there was a pre-registration booklet that I do not have. Many of the years following now have 2 different publications per convention....one pre-registration and one on-site program.

Following is the rundown of special guests to Origins '84. Its is always full of useful information one might be pressed to find elsewhere. Included are Dave Arneson, Robert Asprin, Richard Berg, Frank Chadwick, Chaosium, CJ Cherryh, Greg Costikyan, Eric Goldberg, Steve Jackson, Al Leonardi, Marc W Miller, Richard Pini, John Prados, Jennifer Roberson, Fred Saberhagen, Michael Stackpole, Star Trek's Guy W McLimore Jr, David F Tepool, Greg K Poehlein, Victory Games Mark Herman, Jerry Klug and Eric Smith:
