Publication history
[edit]Citybook II: Port o' Call was edited by Liz Danforth, Michael Stackpole, and Jennifer Roberson, with a cover by Carl Lundgren and illustrations by Liz Danforth, Steve Crompton, and Dave Helber, and was published by Blade/Flying Buffalo in 1984 as a 112-page book, with a second printing of the first edition in 1986 from Blade/Task Force Games as a new publisher, and a second edition published by Flying Buffalo Inc in 1990 as a 120-page book with no price on the cover.[1] Contributors include Allen Wold, Dave Arneson, Jim "Bear" Peters, Greg Gorden, Charles de Lint, Hank Stine, Glenn Rahman, Rudy Kraft, and Rick Loomis.[1]
Flying Buffalo had begun an ambitious publishing schedule after arranging a line of credit with a local printer in 1982, which included Citybook II: Port O' Call; however, after an ownership change the printer cut this line of credit in 1983 so it would be a year before Flying Buffalo could produce Citybook II (1984).[2]: 38
