			     VERSION 0.31

HISTORY

Adventurers Club first appeared in Fall of 1983.  The original digest
sized magazine was a mere 32 pages in length, solely concerned with
the Champions roleplaying game.  In later issues, the magazine
coverage expanded, as the hero line did.  Soon, Danger International,
Espionage and Justice, Inc. were all being featured as well.  The
magazine slowly got a little glossier and a little bigger.

And then, the troubles began.  Two years elapsed between issues six
and seven.  Hero Games had severe financial problems that were only
ended by a distribution agreement with Iron Crown Enterprises.  After
the hiatus, things were slightly more on track, but still large gaps
elapsed between some of the quarterly issues.  Another year elapsed,
for example, between issues twelve and thirteen.

For issues eight through twelve, the Adventurer's Club was officially
labelled "The Hero Games, Iron Crown Quarterly".  For the only time in
the magazine's lifetime, articles were included for games produced by
people other than Hero Games.  MERP, Rolemaster and Spacemaster all
received coverage in those issues.  With issue thirteen, and the
promise of a pending ICE Quarterly magazine, coverage reverted to
solely Hero Games.

With issue fourteen, Adventurers Club underwent another format change.
The size was changed to the comic book standard and the page count was
cut back to 32 (it had been averaging 72 previously).  Since then,
page count has again increased to 48, but there have been few other
changes.

A NOTE ON ORGANIZATION

This index is categorized primarily by game systems.

A NOTE ON THIS INDEX

This current index only covers issues 8-12 (the ICE issues).  The rest
of the issues are sitting in my collection, but I have less interest
in the Hero topics. I may complete this index at some later time.
