Most folks around here aren't bright enough to make the connection... I go now to weep!

In honor of Gary's death, I'm preparing a 1st edition Greyhawk campaign made up entirely of the classic modules. Any advice on which ones are -mandatory- and what order in which to run them?

That's what I suspected but just wasn't sure... thanks for the verification.

I started to mention translation issues but it's late ;) At any rate, this makes the reference even more vague and meaningless, especially in the context of a rulebook for a roleplaying game. What I mean to say is that since the name of the "demon" can be changed in translation, the name...

Asmodeus is not Biblical... a demon called Asmodai is mentioned in the Book of Tobit (which appears only the the Apochrypa but no real description is given). A demon called Ashmedai appears in the Talmud with similar properties and this is believed to be a derivation of the above. The only...

I'll be the third... Red Hand of Doom is very, very good.

I've always thought this was why Warlocks were designed to begin with.
