==============================

A first edition. This version is much more elegant than later examples as noted by the voluptuous use of script, art, and cartography. Inside the rear cover makes mention of the next adventure titled "Masters of Luck and Death." Five of the images found in Toadstool Wine 1975 are taken from this version of White Bear and Red Moon.

Commentary: This is the 2nd printing/edition of the game that spawned Runequest. IMHO, White Bear and Red Moon still has one of the most beautiful set of counters ever produced.
