I use the original books or OSRIC when gaming 1e. joe b.

Stonepick crossing is an OSRIC(tm) module designed for 6-10 adventures of levels 1-3. For those who don't know, OSRIC is the retro-clone of First Edition. Given the re-releases of the original core books, people should know there's a lot of support for the game. The tiny town of Stonepick...

I don't feel very nostalgic for last Friday's game. joe b.

Neutral, but definitely hoping for the best. joe b.

Yep! I'm still smiling about it - a great way to start the day. :) joe b.

I've always been entranced by the illustration of Emirikol the Chaotic in the DMG and I've just found out that the background was based upon a street in Rhodes called Street of the Knights. Thanks to the Bat in the Attic blog and the commenter there called pseckler13. Awesome! joe b.

I don't use them. IMO, magic item placement is a world creation activity and entirely up to the DM. I also don't place magic items based upon their usefulness to the players. They're there for other, entirely non-character deterministic, reasons. joe b.

There is also a glaring absence of D&D branded kids toys featuring castles, knights and dragons, IMO. joe b.
