Is anyone still playing Champions/Hero System? I have some great new items in stock for you!
Also, some AD&D classics, play in Lankhmar, or explore the ruins of Greyhawk Castle.
On the subject of how rules differ between versions...
OD&D/LBBs - the spell "Cure Light Wounds" heals d6+1 same for potion.
AD&D/1e - the spell "Cure Light Wounds" heals d8 (no +1 pip), but the potion is 2d4+2!
OD&D/LBBs - natural healing is every other day (even days), complete rest required.
AD&D/1e - natural healing every day, complete rest required. CON factors into this (penalties always, bonuses after 1st wk).
Gets me EVERY TIME I switch games!
Huh... a discussion of Adventures in the Dungeon, the OTHER 1979 Gary Gygax game, and likely only game ever to feature a "Rangeress" as a character class.
It was published as part of the "Official Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: Coloring Album" [sic!] and while it clearly is a vehicle to get kids interested in #adnd the way Gygax presents it seems to carefully avoid mentioning #dnd at att.

A picture of a d10 with a story.
When I was in high school, I played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons. Think back to 2nd Edition when the rules were unnecessarily complicated with THAC0. Anyway, I played a lot with one of my best friends. A man who would go on to be one of my best men at my wedding.
While in high school, his house caught fire and was just destroyed. I went with him the next day and walked through his house. Sitting on his charred, damaged computer was his set of dice he used for our D&D sessions. Most were so charred they were unreadable. Not the d10. It had like a singe coating that almost looked like a toasted marshmallow.
He was going to throw it out, but I asked if he minded if I kept it. He did not.
I've had it since.
That was 26+ years ago. Just used it last weekend while playing D&D.

Some nostalgia from 1st Edition AD&D, Hex maps from Judges Guild, a forgotten gem from Little Soldier, and a fine adventure for 2nd Edition.
New Year, new items in stock! More fun from Grimtooth, a DC Heroes adventure, part of the 1977 Traveller box set, magic from 2nd edition AD&D, and Unearthed Arcana for 1st edition.
I had some great old-school stuff come in this week! Before you ask the answer is yes! The Deities & Demigods is a First Print with Cthulhu and Melnibonean Mythoi. It is also in terrible shape, but if you have to have one...
I don't know how many #boardgame players are out there. But my teenager just said "#munchkin is the #tiktok of #ADnD" and that was kind of profound.
Continued thread
#ADnD clarifies it in Gygax' overly exacting style, and at the same time makes it worse: it bans edged and pointed weapons (that draw blood)
...
Do vampires actually bleed when you stab them? That opens a whole other can of worms. Technically your cleric might now be banned from stabbing vampires right after their meal.
You might want to ask first.
Since 3 out of 4 from my previous post have already gone to new homes so here are some more new items.
The Monster Manual is an early printing with red paper inside the cover and on the flyleaves.
Better late than never: Here comes my #Cauldron2024 recap (plus some extra lore)!
Enjoy!

Bestia ex machina · Another blog entry about Cauldron 2024!Woohoo! Surely the internet has been eagerly waiting for this. My name probably won’t ring a bell to anyone in the roleplaying community...

"Sentient swords are actually a restricted form of spellcasting for non-caster classes. I think they're really important, that using them should generally not be a hassle, and neglecting to roll for them is a contributing factor to caster superiority."
