Ahjay Moondancer Master Fo, also known as Thousand Technique Fo Rondoo the Learner

Would you believe that I have a custom keyboard with the 'g' and 'z' right next to each other?

IIRC there's a PC running around my local Living Greyhawk area who goes by Tig Bitties. In high school the party cleric was Bud the Wiser. My own PCs names were never very jokey but often goofy: Chester of the Pointy Hat (a fledgling maze), Botonomus Bradlebreek, Razzak Gristlyguts (a xvart...

I'm home now and have access to my D&D books. Scattered around me at the moment are my copies of the original Little Beige Books (volumes 1-3 plus Supplements I and III), the '79 booklet (edited by Eric Holmes), the '81 Basic Rules (Tom Moldvay, editor), the '81 Expert Rules (David Cook with...

As a DM I only get involved in the loot split if someone tries to claim treasure their PC doesn't know exists or in similar situations. As a player I usually side with the "whoever can use it gets it" school. That creates inequities at times, but I really don't care.

I think if you look in the medieval history of the worlds oldest profession you will find a considerable spectrum of prices and services in places other than Europe.

I suppose I could be wrong for the Rules Cyclopedia or the LBBs, but if the '81 Basic/Expert rules have a magic item price chart I will eat my hat. Edit to add: It's a nice hat too. I would miss it.

Maybe I was unclear. What I can't find is the price chart for magic items in my 81' Basic Book, my '81 Expert Book, either of my '83 D&D books, or the Rules Cyclopedia. I don't recall magic item prices being in the Little Beige Books either.

I take it you are excluding every version of D&D that wasn't first or second edition Advanced.

Well thanks for emailing me the file. I agree that it looks pretty darn kewl. Akashic nodes are one of the items in the core book for which I really wanted to see more info.

Thanks a bunch! E-mail sent.

Hmm. Same result: crashed browser, "Could not find XObject '%s'" from Acrobat reader.

The CR system does tend to encourage balance in encounters where previously a DM might not have worried about it. I've built a lot of dungeons in earlier editions by rolling randomly on charts. It didn't matter how tough the PCs were, if the dice said 12 trolls lived in room 52a then by God I...

I'd love to check out the preview, but everytime I click on the relevant link on the page it crashes my browser (Firefox 0.9.3) and Adobe returns an error about a missing object.

I found the book I think contained the reference but I couldn't find the reference itself: Willy Schrodter's A Rosicrucian Notebook. Publishing a book that dense sans index ought to be a crime, I tell ya. Right. I thought the issue was hand was whether or not the monk existed in Western...

Pretty darned recent? The Fama Fraternitatis was published in 1610. The rapier isn't much older than that.

I don't hate any edition. I prefer some editions over others and often state my preferences without slamming another edition. '81 Basic/Expert is my particular favorite, but I have played most of the others. I've enjoyed ever version I've played, although some took me longer to get the hang...

There were plenty of Chinese men in the Old West, so the half-Chinese angle was completely unnecessary except to justify a white guy playing the lead.

I find both HM and C&C to be closer the game I played as a kid than the product Wizards sells. Does that make them Dungeons & Dragons? Not in a legal sense but by my lights they are incarnations of D&D.

The mindflayer has always been a go-to guy for scaring the crap out of my players. I've seen PCs that have faced mutliple shoggoths in melee turn away from a mind flayer if given the chance.
