I haven’t the faintest idea who Justin Alexander is, but I’ve bought Shattered Obelisk ( having run LMoP for my family) and intend to run it for my face-to-face group on their request, once we finish Scarlet Citadel. I enjoyed reading it through, will add some personal touches here and there...

And the other big advantage of Greyhawk over FR is that it links better with the whole 50th Anniversary thing.

Punk is not dead, and nor is Greyhawk! Or maybe I’m just old?

Never used a caller in the groups I gamed with in the late 1970s/early 80s. In terms of conventions, we dreamed of attending Origins or GenCon, but it never happened, though we did go to Dragonmeet in the Horticultural Halls in London, which we thought was brilliant. As an aside from the comment...

Definitely not good alignment, but a campaign featuring the two classic Yatil Mountain adventures, with the Rod of 7 parts, and possibly a redemption arc for Drelzna as an NPC, sounds pretty cool as a 50th Anniversary product. Of course, Iuz could be the villain, but who needs Iuz when you have...

Looks good to me, though I’m a bit surprised that people pay to hunt moorhens.

Setting: Greyhawk to make a triumphant 50th anniversary return. Well known game: Gamma World Obscure and ancient: Bifrost ( be interesting to see who remembers this)

As a tribute to the Rugby World Cup (even though England just lost the semi-final; sob!), here’s a D&D rugby team: 2x Props: Dwarf fighters Hooker: Dwarf rogue 2x Locks: Half-orc barbarians 2x Flankers: human fighters Number 8: Human warlock 2x wings: Elf rogues Scrum half: half elf wizard Fly...

These articles, just like the Dragon ones, are a wonderful insight to the history of the game. Thank you so much for your work here.

It’s a fantastic game and suits the grimy grittiness of the Old World so well. I’ve never GM-ed it, but am currently playing in two superb campaigns; Enemy Within (online) and Ubersreik (face 2 face), both of which are epic.

Back in the late 1970s, I painted some Minifigs “pig-faced” orcs, and stored them in an old cigar box, each wrapped in a piece of toilet roll. The orcs adapted an aroma redolent of both Havana, Hemingway and Hummel. That smell is the most wonderfully evocative smell of all time, and I would not...

Speaking only for medieval England, a female Earl is called a Countess. The likely explanation is due to the Norman Conquest of 1066. Prior to that “Eorl” was the senior noble title for Anglo-Saxon England, such as Godwine Eorl of Wessex and Leofwine, Eorl of Mercia. The title morphed into Earl...

The minis are great. More importantly, they are inclusive. Inclusion is a wonderful thing because it makes life better for many people. It doesn’t make life worse for anyone at all....... except for those who choose to let it enrage them, just because they need to hate. And these people need...

Leaving aside the actual gaming for a moment; one thing we did have in the late 70s and early 80s was loads of game shops, selling D&D, miniatures and loads of other games beside. They were like caverns of wonder to teenage gamers, and remain strong in my memory. Games Workshop when it was in a...

The brief descriptions of dungeon rooms certainly brought back memories. As a DM, I either negotiated graph paper from a friendly maths teacher or possibly stole it! Similar story with the lined exercise books for writing out the brief notes for each room. My first campaign was an inn and a...

Biggest loss: my white box Original set Second biggest: Night Below boxed set. Hey, life goes on........

Something very fishy is going on with your smallest country in history.

2.4 million population is actually pretty large for a “smallest country in history.” By comparison, Tuvalu is the smallest UN-recognised State IRL, with a population of around 12+ thousand. No silver dragons, though.

Agree. The enigmatic expression on the woman’s face as the ship came to a tragic end on the rocks: Mona Lisa reinvented as a blonde sea witch?

I think you could rephrase as lots of retired climate activists campaigning for a future for all who live on this planet. All the best for great gaming for your group in the future.
