Editor: John Lettice and Gordon Neilson
Issues 1-12 (July 1973 – May 1974)
Zine Poll: 1974 16th
Possibly the messiest and most illegible zine of all time, it was also the first Scottish Diplomacy zine. John even forgot to number it from issue 2 to issue 11, and often he even forgot to include the name of the zine. The first 7 issues were spirit duplicated and have faded badly. Non-games content was small, but quite a few games were started, several variants. Although Bolshevik Star is usually credited to John Lettice, Gordon Neilson appears to have been a co-editor – they were both based in Dundee, but Lettice took over most of the running when he started at St. Andrews. When the first variant-only zine, Variety, folded it joined BS as a sub-zine from issue 8. BS did not fold neatly.
