    Ethereal Ripper (Critique Welcome)

    I'm far from an expert on monster statistics, but shouldn't an aberration have 8-sided hit dice? Why does the etheral ripper have d12s?

    Question About Combat in 1e

    I think the intent in 1E is that a spell with a casting time of less than 1 round will go off the same round that it is cast, regardless of the throw of initiative. In 1E AD&D, the initiative roll doesn't affect when a spell goes off. Casting, for example, a magic missile spell takes 1 segment...

    Interesting Gen Con releases?

    I haven't heard of a 1E version of the Iron Crypt of the Heretics. Do you mean a version made for 1st edition D&D?

    Game Stores in Silver Spring, MD?

    Game Parlor is, IMO, the best game store in the area, all around. I usually visit the one in Chantilly, VA. Dream Wizards is still worth a visit. And there is also Games and Comics... and Stuff Games and Comics... and Stuff in Glen Burnie. Many other game stores have come and gone. Games...

    One night in Baltimore (aka Bangkok East)

    You might try this place: www.gamescomicsstuff.com/ Its in Glen Burnie (about a 20-minute drive) and I believe that it opens at noon on Sundays. Its a good gamestore (not a great one, but a good one).

    D&D 3.x Help translating monsters from 3.5 to First Edition

    I have a simple system to convert 3.x monsters to 1st edition. Its starting point is an inversion of the "Conversion Manual" that WotC released back in 2000.
