    AD&D 2E Looking back at the Monstrous Compendia: the MC appendices, Monstrous Manual, and more!

    Actually..., re ingundi and succubi: Dunno where I read this, but the renaming seems to have been for reasons of Mrs. Pulling.

    AD&D 2E Looking back at the Monstrous Compendia: the MC appendices, Monstrous Manual, and more!

    Absolutely. Just musings. And wouldn't it have been nice to have all such monsters in MC3 and the dinosaurs pulled out for an MC4 Lost World Appendix? Sabre-tooths, Tarzan, great apes, axebeaks, Pellucidar? What's not to like? But perhaps too late for that (sabre-tooths in MC1) and too much...

    AD&D 2E Looking back at the Monstrous Compendia: the MC appendices, Monstrous Manual, and more!

    True that. Which is a bit of a shame, really, for there were lots of weird and wonderful monsters by Ed Greenwood available at the time - the magebane, xantravar, scythetail, and quezzer from Dragon 140; the lock lurker, lybbarde, metalmaster, and serplar from Dragon 139; the xaver from Dragon...

    AD&D 1E Random Wilderness Encounters (Stonewater to, um... Carse) (Updated)

    ¡Hola! L’histoire se répète, as we say in my neck of the woods ever since it fell out of fashion to quote… never mind. So I decided to substitute the gremlins in F’Chelrak’s Tomb for a crypt thing that would “teleport PCs to the end of the world”, on a roll of “00” on percentile dice just to...

    D&D General The Original Reason for Spell Components: Balancing Bad Jokes

    Interesting post! It has actually solved a lot of questions I now realize I had (fleece!) - and then some didn't even know I had. :) The following probably don't classify as 'bad jokes' as per OP's definition, but they (as well as the Friends thing - ESPECIALLY THE FRIENDS THING) have always...

    AD&D 1E Judges Guild Character Classes for OD&D/AD&D?

    ROFL. I really wasn't expecting an answer to that! :ROFLMAO: Edit: Do you need an airstrip to roll that?

    AD&D 1E Judges Guild Character Classes for OD&D/AD&D?

    If anything, I suppose one could wonder what a d120 looks like.

    AD&D 1E Judges Guild Character Classes for OD&D/AD&D?

    I suppose the WITCH could well be the OD&D Witch class in The Dragon 5. Hold on... it's more likely the one in Witches Court Marshes (JG, 1982) "The Idiot" or perhaps the Jester from The Dragon 3 for the BUFFOON? I thought the VALKYRIE could be in Shield Maidens of Sea Rune, but no. As to...

    AD&D 1E Judges Guild Character Classes for OD&D/AD&D?

    Brilliant! Now that I see that list I know I knew it existed - oh well. so much to remember, so much to forget. I guess that list does settle it: AL for Alchemist, SA for Samurai, and SG for sage. So I'll be using the DMG1 sage for the SGs I need to deal with, and the early The Dragon Samurai...

    AD&D 1E Judges Guild Character Classes for OD&D/AD&D?

    Thanks. Do you think they are the DMG Sage and the Alchemist and Samurai from The Dragon #2 and #3? If so, do you happen to know why JG opted to include the Alchemist and Samurai in their publications and not, say, the Berserker, the Scribe, and the Healer? By the way: "Scribes are rather...

    AD&D 1E Judges Guild Character Classes for OD&D/AD&D?

    Esteemed friends, Because I'm required to see what's what in the Elphand Lands, I've been digging through some early Judges Guild publications and I've noticed several abbreviations for what I assume to be AD&D 1E character classes in many of them. I've found a list of all of them on page 10...

    Give me a prompt and i'll make an image

    Interesting. Both seem to have a fairly good grasp of the ligne claire style and they're definitely not as tainted by anime as SeaArt. Nightcafe even mixes in a whiff of Rebecca Guay (coloring, mostly). Also, SA just didn't want to grasp the concept of "full colour line art" in this and later...

    OK @trappedslider, I'd be very interested to see what your machine does with this prompt: "Madame is getting dressed while a ray of morning sunlight falls through French windows on the crumpled sheets and blankets of an (unmade:1.5) fourposter bed on the background in a medieval castle room...
