one of the criticisms of the whole MC series was that, in spite of the loose leaf paper and binder format, you still couldn't put the assorted sets into alphabetical order because so many of the sheets had different monsters on each side, and newer sets coming out wouldn't always fit in order...

Nyambe was a great supplement, but can you get it anywhere anymore? Does DTRPG have it?

kobolds don't seem to have much of a sense of humor, but the gnomes got enough for both...

in 1E and 2E, they had a special hate-on for gnomes. Something to do with their gods mixing it up, IIRC, kinda like orcs and elves....

we have halflings so the bullettes have something to eat. we have gnomes so the kobolds have someone to hate.

I bought that boxed set too... by mistake, actually. I ran into some gaming groups in college and decided to buy the rules for 'Dungeons and Dragons'... not realizing that the groups I wanted to join were using AD&D. Still, I got the basics down pretty fast, tried rolling up some PCs, and...

ya know, there was a pit trap in the very first room of the very first cave in the Caves of Chaos/Keep on the Borderland module... did that one still come included with the red box set?

19 in 1979.... hadn't really been exposed to it until I went to college in another town...

read the 1E and 2E ones thoroughly from cover to cover, since I was an active DM back then. Read bits and pieces of the 3E one, and the 5E one most of the way...

I had the War Captains' Companion once upon a time. Didn't use much of it, but I did use the deck plans for the clipper ship for an Oerth-bound adventure... the Turucambi one mentioned in one of the GH books, where a mysterious lost ship there was noted to be a clipper in the DM's notes... I...

I subscribed to Dragon well before issue 100, and kept it up through 300... and then let it lapse. I enjoyed it a lot when it was 1E/2E and I was still active in gaming, but when I stopped playing and 3E came around, I lost interest in it all. But yeah, getting Dragon in the mail during my...

my buying experiences span a lot of time, and my habits shifted a lot... 1E years. I basically bought everything I could find at the stores, which wasn't so much when you lived in a little MT town. 2E years. Mail order over the phone came along, and I bought just about every 2E product that...

biggest group I ever had was the last one, me (DM) and 7 players. That was about as many as I could handle. Considering the tiny MT town I was living in at the time and the rather small group of RPG players in it, that was probably a majority of the D&D population there....

the only 1E house rules that I recall using off the top of my head are: max HP at first level' nixing the level/stat limits for gender/race 1 always misses, 20 always hits that's about it...

haven't been a DM in a long time, but I used Greyhawk (a lot) and the Realms (once)....

nice idea for a campaign. But... if the base of it is 'the natural world is turning against the town', I'd probably have gone with something more nature based, like the Unseelie Court from Monster Mythology... dark fey forces and all that. Maybe that group of NPCs that failed badly at...

I'm guessing the answer isn't 'hugs'?

my crafting was limited to drawing maps and painting minis.... lack the skills and know-how to do terrain, and generally just used big white boards and markers to sketch out the dungeons...

I think B1 mentioned Ratik as one of the possible places to set it... or maybe it was B2. Have to look, been a while since I read either. In any event, I think EGG had the broad intention that the blocked off tunnel that led from the 'temple of evil chaos' in the Caves of Chaos led to...

kinda/sorta... it was shown on the large area map in the Return to the Keep on the Borderlands module (although not detailed there), which was set on the edge of the Yeomanry...
