It was Leia that got hit -- in the arm.

Exactly. This will then encourage the players to take their characters adventuring for loot and magic instead of poking around town looking for it. :lol:

I think the DMG (and the MM, etc.) should be off-limits to players at the table. What they do on their own time is their business.

There's quite a bit of treasure in B2 IIRC and that is certainly not an "adventure path" (it's totally site-based).

Try the GH boxed set from 1983, or perhaps a recent issue of Dungeon?

Too bad he has never cried.

INTERCOURSE and BIRD-IN-HAND, Pennsylvania.

How about Yrag? and Serten? Don't forget the "-igby" names: Bigby, Riggby, Zigby, Digby, and Sigby Grigbyson!

AD&D, at least, suggests that DMs should modify awards down if PCs are defeating monsters that are obviously beneath them.

Exaclty. The planned encounters are generally scaled (though one might include a challenge that the PCs can't win in order to test their tactical skills or to take some of their excess treasure away), but the random encounters are not so scaled. You can meet any sort of creature in the...

Yggsburgh is probably more akin to the published version of the Greyhawk campaign than it is to Gygax's home campaign. Epic of Aerth claims to be EGG's original campaign world.

IIRC (I don't have my DMG in front of me), while creatures in AD&D more-or-less scaled according to the level of the dungeon (and one hopes that the level of the dungeon scales to the level of the PCs!), one could potentially encounter any sort of monster in the wilderness. I remember when I...

The campaign was really Gary's work (and Rob Kuntz's), not Arneson's at all. Blackmoor and the Duchy of Tenh were included in Greyhawk as an homage to Arneson's Blackmoor campaign. There really isn't any Blackmoor material in GH other than those two names.

Well, they did revive the Dark*Matter setting for D20 Modern . . . but in general you're right. Heck, they're still sitting on the Dangerous Journeys/Mythus IP that they acquired from Omega Helios (and for which I am reliably told they paid a lot of money). In a way, though, sitting on IP does...

They are elves who live in the Valley of the Mage. They are very similar to gray elves.

Was it Fate of Istus? That was 2e and has a red(dish) border.

That was around the time JG lost their license to make (A)D&D modules. Personally, I never had an FLGS or comic store near me, so I saw very few TSR modules.

Not very shocking, by the way; they're just not very good. (OK, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration.) The A-series modules had problems from jump; they were tournament modules initially and not developed very well. Heck, A4 suggests that characters who were killed in A3 get raised -- by...

I'm sure T1-4 sold quite well, but I'm equally sure it did not sell as well as Unearthed Arcana. But an adventure module need not sell as well as a core rulebook (which Unearthed Arcana really is -- it's not really a splatbook along the lines of The Complete Fighter's Handbook from 2e) in order...

I dunno, ISTM that puzzling out a long stat block in the heat of combat can be difficult. The problem is that the game currently requires either a long stat block, or referencing a book or two to fill out a short one. Making the game easier for GMs.
