Rounding out March 1985, we get the 22nd issue of the RPGA newsletter which, this month, sports a cover allusive of the Star Frontiers game, the leading SciFi TTRPG published by TSR at the time. Fortunately, for our purposes there is plenty of D&D content inside the cover.

D&D content includes the usual centerpiece module, this time In the Black Hours by David Cook, first used in Gen Con South 1984 and now reprinted here for all those who like their D&D competitive. Gygax contributes some new monsters in an article rectifying some omissions from Monster Manual II and clarifying the Marlgoyle. Gygax shows up again in the official Judge and Players rankings for 1984, being the highest ranking game judge at level 10.

Other articles include some new, but unofficial, Cleric spells and a catalog for ordering some RPGA swag. If you were smart you would have been snagging as many of those R-Series modules as you possibly could for $4.00 and keeping them for a rainy day as each of them would be worth in excess of $1k today. Talk about inflation.
