"Internet" Scenario History?

[Isensee]

Any ASL scenario historians out there?

The final part of my component inventory is to find the home/source for the following 4 scenarios.

BP5: Charnel-Wood (on-card design credit to Brent Pollock, which may explain the "BP" portion of the scenario ID)
JDS1: Schwerpunkt! (on-card design credit to Jeff Shields)
JA1: One Puka Puka (on-card design credit to Jeff Allen)
JA4: A Triangle of Buggers (also Jeff Allen)

The Scenario Archive shows the source of each of these scenarios as "Internet". I have photocopies that I believe I received at an early 2000s ASL Open.

Does anyone know the stories behind these? Were they designed and distributed at tournaments? Did they ever appear in a publication?

Thanks!

Larry

Jeff Shields was an avid ASL player who designed maybe 6 scenarios for his own pleasure and released them on his own website to the community. I don't think he plays any more but his scenarios have been spread to various websites by other players. I've played several of them and really enjoyed them.

The "Internet" on the archive was a way of grouping them by designer, in lieu of scattered single scenarios.
As in "Internet: Steven Swann", since there is no formal publication of the scenarios, they can be grouped.

I have seen the Jeff Allen scenarios somewhere, at least a few. I thought the subjects of his scenarios were interesting, and wished he had released a pack of the ones for the 442nd. Perhaps he will somehow hear of this and do so. I know we are not running short of scenarios, but given the story of the 442nd, I am surprised there aren't more on them.

All Jeffery Allen Scenarios are in their own Publication group now, Internet: Jeffery T. Allen. A few have incomplete data, I will update as I find them.

I see a website for Professor Jeff Shields listed on a handful of ASL aggregator sites, but it appears that site is no longer up.

I also found an analysis of Cold Crocodiles that he did for View from the Trenches.
