Well, paint me orange! A failed politician with obnoxious views has over-valued a property.

LOVE the Pistols-inspired cover for the Mork Borg game! As a working class English kid in the late 1970s, Punk meant so much to me ( and still does), so I’ll be checking it out to play.

Hi Dave, Wanted to send you best wishes and my thoughts. I hope things are working through with you and yours as well as they can. My group played last night and liberated Consitium from the mad derro forces in the Scarlet Citadel. They soon realised that Consitium could have escaped...

This looks so cool and is a definite for me. I loved the White Box back in the 1970s and will love the warmth of nostalgia from this book.

Any ideas what adventures might be in Infinite Staircase? Hoping for Forest Oracle!!! (No, not really)

As I recall, Dave ( the older lad) showed Phil and I the white box and said it was a new game from the USA where you played as individual heroes seeking treasure and adventure in a dungeon. We rolled up two characters using 3d6, with mine being a fighter (Aelric) and Phil a magic-user (Amroth)...

Your original question stated “before 1976” I started playing in 1976 so I’m not sure whether this counts, but I’ll give my tuppence worth anyway. I’m also from the UK, so a non-US (and certainly non Lake Geneva) perspective might be useful? I was 13 and attending a very old state school...

Tharizdun. For all will be nothing! Seriously, Tharizdun is great as a “terror beyond terror” in any game, and particularly in this anniversary year. I like the ones mentioned in the OP of course, and (as a regular ranger player) have always had a soft spot for Ehlonna of the Forests.

I absolutely love Forge of Fury. The chasm bridge, the ogre, the old forge, the roper, the black dragon. It’s got almost every classic trope of “dwarven ruins” and in style! I’ve run it three times, most recently for my wife and two grandkids, who adored it. My only regret is that I’ve never...

I’ve used the Keep from KotB several times as a starting base for various adventures, always expanding on (and naming!) the various inhabitants. As a teenager, I made good use of the old JG product, Frontier Forts of Kelnore, to create huge numbers of encounters using the ruined fort map. It...

Two folk-hero type NPCs to act as aids to PCs, possibly asking them to undertake perilous missions, or otherwise aiding for goodly purposes: Tammy Sawyer; growing up on the banks of the Old Man River, with only her aunt Polina as a career, Tammy was always a wild one. Trouble either followed...

New monster(s): Railboss Lich (unique) aka Old Spiker In the earliest days of railroad building, no boss was as rapacious, greedy, cruel and brutal as Cassius Johannes. He was a man as strong and violent as he was vicious, and he would often beat his workers, sometimes to death, for the tiniest...

What’s his name? What about personality, motivations, friendships, etc. These all.matter too IMO.

My tuppence worth: Great published adventures do need at least one great villain, but ideally more. This can be the “end boss” type of villain but it doesn’t have to be. Ideally, there should be level-appropriate villains to “hate” as characters progress through the campaign, as well as NPCs to...

Happy Birthday! I was 13 in 1976 and Dave, a lad from the year above had got the white boxed set for his birthday. Dave ran myself and a friend, Phil, through a dungeon he had designed. I played a fighter called Aelric, Phil played a magic-user called Amroth. We were hooked straight away...

Although it often criticised, there was the Swords & Spells rulebook. My friends and I played out many battles in the very late 1970s and early 80s, combining all our old Ral Partha, Citadel, Asgard and other miniatures to fight battles. Great memories.

What’s his name?

Love the images! We’ve talked on Discord, but I’m reading this thread now and a couple of extra things spring to mind: A sinister “not-Pinkerton” agency, perhaps working for one of the robber baron-Dragons, with ears and agents everywhere, foiling the PCs and espousing wickedness. Country and...

Much as @TheSword is one of my best friends, and a long term gaming buddy, brilliant DM and superb player, he is, of course, completely wrong here! Long live D&D nostalgia!

Superb. The Warhammer Old World is like The Wire or True Detective (series 1) made fantasy.
