On a related topic, one thing I will always remember that came from a vet. When the time comes to say goodbye, a lot of people won't go to the back room because they can't or won't handle seeing their pet put to sleep. But that last moment, alone with the vet, is scary for the pet. The vet said...

Working on it ;) As soon as I wrap up Shadow Fables, I plan on doing just this for B2. It's my favorite module, but could use some improvement presentation style-wise after 50 years of lessons learned while keeping the sandboxy aspect still important and up front. We just finished it recently...

I agree. I tried this with Tomb of Entropy, and got lots of good feedback on it.

The 2e hardback Monstrous Manual is one of the best books TSR/WotC ever put out.

To the OP, technically OD&D was my first experience of D&D even if I didn't technically play it. I was a kid in 1981 and saw my older brother and some of his friends play it, but couldn't make any sense of the rules. Shortly after, my mom took me to a game store (I still vividly remember that...

When the PO books came out, I was actually pretty excited. One of my favorite PCs is a paladin who can't wear armor, but had a d12 for hit dice and could cast spells earlier. The black border core book, however, I was really disappointed. The art in those stunk. It was awful.

A few years ago I asked Frank Mentzer if there was one thing he could change about BECMI, what would it be. His answer was an unequivocal "Cap levels at 20. 36 was too much, and not needed."

It also shows up in my GEAS game ;)

Really? Of all RPGS of all time? What makes it so? The change to 2e was minimal. There was certainly a bigger shift from 2e to 3e, and 3e to 4e, and that's not even talking about non-D&D games. It was also intentional to keep it compatible. It's weird for me to hear a game that was designed...

Yep. Pretty...gnarly.

I am so very sorry to hear that. While I have no idea how you are feeling or going through, I do have sympathy and empathy for you, your family, and your pets. A few years ago our cat got sick. Took him to the vet a half dozen times over a month and they had no idea what was wrong. Thought was...

Excellent choice. I included it a couple years ago in my Twilight Fables book, and it's one of my favorite illustrations. Eric Lofgren nailed it.
