Jon Peterson's book _Playing at the World_ is a new, comprehensive early history of the development of RPGs out of wargames through about 1978 TSR, and is well-worth checking out if you're interested in the history of the hobby. Jon recently started a blog with two interesting posts featuring...

And another Blog of Holding post, this about the wizards of Wyre: who are the best of the best? Blog of Holding

Month-end bump!

Dave did some art in the OD&D boxed set, per Mike Mornard, but I've not heard that he was a painter (which doesn't mean that he wasn't either). I pinged Paul Stormberg to see what he can say....

It's also not very good, all-in-all. You're better off buying a book of Russian folklore (like my old prof, Linda Ivantis' @ Amazon.com: Russian Folk Belief (9780873328890): Linda J. Ivanits, Linda J. Ivantis, Sophie Schiller: Books ) than trying to track down Rus.

ENWorld's own francisca has a copy on ebay right now too ($5.50 at the time of posting): TSR9576 Return of the Eight Greyhawk AD&D | eBay

That's because they were added to the game in Supplement 1: Greyhawk :D I'd forgotten about that one: nice catch. The Holmes basic set (and MM1 book) has a five-fold alignment system, but liches are (perhaps unsurprisingly ;) ) not listed on its chart. Looking at the similar chart on the...

It looks like there's no art in TD#26 (it's a one pager in the article's original format), so the art you wanted must have appeared in BOD#2. I don't have a copy at hand to confirm, but it's clearly not in TD#26 , so....

Well, if I had looked a little closer, the box with Rot8 in it was ~4 feet behind me :blush: , and the map appears on the inside of the front and back covers of the module.

Thanks for the pointer, Joe: I hadn't seen the promo .pdf yet, and gave it a little more visibility on FB.

In addition, Game Kastle in the South Bay is worth the trip, too: a wide selection of indy RPGs, as well as good board games, minis (including htf in the States minis like Hasselfree and Otherworld), etc. It's pretty much the successor to the Mountain View Gamescape, IMO; web site @ Game...

Unfortunately, my copy is still packed in a box, apparently, so I can't answer your question definitively. However, IIRC, the events in the tower are scripted and don't really require a map, since they really only serve to put the PCs onto the track of the module's plot. I don't remember for...

AD&D, of course: I never played 2e, and have only played OD&D a handful of times. I learned playing Holmes, but once AD&D was out, we switched to that as the books were released.

This is the first time I've seen Wyre stories mentioned somewhere off of ENWorld that wasn't me mentioning them: paladins with expense accounts Blog of Holding Seems like a lucky find for Friday the 13th :D

Thanks Andy! :D

We feel your pain, believe me ;) Thanks, as always, for the your support, Mike :D

We're starting to work on retail distribution for OSRIC, but for the moment the new printing is only available from Black Blade. Thanks for the positive feedback, Verdana: it's always good to hear that we've been able to make our customers happy! :D We do try to get you as much value out...

**bump**
