My cousin drew clothes (a t-shirt and jeans) on the succubus illustration in the 1st ed DMG.

Those are fantastic. The first time I played, I was the DM and not knowing any better, I read practically everything in the module outloud, not just the boxed text. Plus I mispronounced everything. Me: You see three....kol-bolds. My sister: What's a kol-bold? Me: I don't know. Maybe it's this...

Is Monte going to start up a new gaming group when he gets to Milwaukee? 'Cause...it ain't that far from Chicago....

I found this site which has an extensive list of programs: http://www.ticalc.org/pub/83plus/basic/games/ If nothing else, you might find a programmer who can find what you're looking for. :)

Hey, Kid, these are great! I actually laughed outloud at a couple of parts. Do you write down exactly what Marsha says or did you just approximate it - either way, it sounds exactly like some things she would say in character (Marsha plays Amanda). Two points though: 1. Cecilia is Lady...

I just wanted to say how much I love this list. I love rediscovering monsters. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :D

wow. That's some rant. That actually frightens me a little bit for so many reasons.

You rang? :] Hail Eris! I heard the news this morning and I couldn't have been happier.

That is heartbreaking! I would cry if I lost my minis like that. :( My geek moment was also during the 40 Year Old Virgin. While he is painting minis, I turned to my boyfriend and exclaimed, "He didn't prime them first!!!" He was appalled that I noticed that. Later, I told that story to my...

I probably wouldn't use averages - in our group, the players take too much pleasure in rolling out handfuls of dice. They enjoy the drama of it, especially the idea that someone could just as easily roll all ones as maximum damage. Now, I get that there are groups that dislike this and there are...

Here's something to consider. I just got back from China two weeks ago. Many things are much cheaper in China than in the US, but we were surprised that a lot of name-brand things, like Sony electronics or Nike shoes, were about the same price or even a little more expensive than in the US (for...

It's easier for me to say which ones I haven't used or encountered - and I actually made a mistake and forgot a couple on my answer. :)

I think I'm going to have buy that. :) Right now I am reading River Town - it's about an american Peace Corps volunteer who taught english in Sichuan Province, China, in the mid-nineties. I bought it when we were in Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago just before traveling to Sichuan myself. :) I...

Agreed! I love Hobb - the Fool series is very good as well. The Ship series isn't as good to me, but they are still enjoyable reads.

One thing about the article that annoys me a little is - what about all of the other players? This addresses only one player with a creative scheme (and sure, the person with the question did only ask about one player) and I'd like to know what the other players were thinking and doing. What was...

LOL! Well, I wasn't quoting exactly the botched box text -that scene was just the first that came to my mind. I think it may be in Keep on Borderlands, though.

Yeah! I remember tons of boxed text like that back in the day. I remember reading stuff like that to players and having them say "Nuh-uh! I don't let that hag anywhere near me!" The other thing that makes me roll my eyes is text that is way too overdone: You see a hauntingly beautiful woman...

World's Largest Dungeon

Darn! I was hoping you meant finding published examples. I remember one adventure where some of the boxed text had been botched and stuff that was supposed to be boxed wasn't and text that was not supposed to be boxed was... So my example is:

My boyfriend bought The Rings of Power book - not well done at all. But my personal most disappointing book was the Book of Challenges. Usually I can find uses for most things (I even found things to use in MMIV and that took some digging), but I really didn't like any of the encounters in it...
