    The terms 'fluff' and 'crunch'

    (Apologies to Moochava over at RPG.net whose post I am about to blatantly rip off) I propose the following replacements to both these and other overused gaming terms: Fluff --> Pludge. "This game positively oozes with setting-pludge." Crunch --> Chunder. "The rules offer nice, meaty...

    how many homages to original cover to 1st ed AD&D phb?

    There's an encounter in the 1st ed module "The Mines of Bloodstone" in which the players come across that statue with those gems. The gems are worth 50k each, iirc.
